Chocolate Avocado Smoothie
Chocolate Avocado Smoothie blends ripe avocado with almond milk, cocoa powder, a powdered sweetener, and optional vanilla and ice cubes to create a creamy, thick drink with a mild chocolate flavor. This smoothie offers a dairy-free and low-sugar alternative with a smooth texture suitable for a snack or light breakfast.
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
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender, starting with the milk.
- Blend for around 30 seconds or until completely smooth. If necessary, scrape down the sides in between.
Notes
- This smoothie contains about 8 grams of net carbs per serving and makes one large glass.
- Powdered sweetener is used to keep it sugar-free and keto-friendly, but sugar, honey, or maple syrup can be substituted if desired.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more almond milk or using frozen avocado instead of ice cubes.
- Optional add-ins include protein powder, chia seeds, hemp hearts, cinnamon, nut butter, Greek or coconut yogurt, spinach leaves, fresh mint, or coconut cream for richer taste.
- Best served immediately, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day.
