Ingredients

  • ½ avocado flesh only
  • ¾ cup almond milk unsweetened (180ml, use 1 cup if your avocado is large)
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon powdered sweetener  ***see notes
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract optional, but recommended
  • 3-4 Ice cubes optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender, starting with the milk.
  2. Blend for around 30 seconds or until completely smooth. If necessary, scrape down the sides in between.

Notes

  • 8g net carbs per serve. Makes 1 large glass of smoothie.
  • *** I use powdered sweetener to keep the smoothie sugar free and keto friendly. If sugar or carbs are not a concern, feel free to swap out the sweetener for honey or maple syrup, use oat milk instead of almond milk and / or add ½ a banana (fresh or frozen banana both work). 
  • This smoothie is very thick. For a thinner smoothie, add a little more almond milk or nut milk of your choice. 
  • Option to use frozen avocado. In this case, omit the ice cubes. 
  • Other possible add-ins: 
  • Best served straight away. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Protein powder - for a protein boost
  • Chia seeds or hemp hearts - to add fiber
  • Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
  • Nut butter - makes the smoothie more filling. Use 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
  • Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • Spinach - I love to throw in a handful of baby spinach leaves. You can't taste them. They are the perfect hidden veggie, and you're getting one step closer to your five a day!
  • Mint - add a few fresh mint leaves for a chocolate mint smoothie.
  • Coconut Cream - replace some of the almond milk for an even richer taste - like an avocado chocolate milkshake
