Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shake
Description
This shake is made by combining frozen banana and strawberries with ripe avocado and fresh spinach, enhanced by raw cacao powder and vanilla extract for chocolate flavor. The ingredients blend until smooth and creamy, with optional ice cubes added for a thicker consistency resembling ice cream.
The inclusion of avocado adds creaminess without dairy, while spinach provides mild earthiness and nutrition without overpowering the fruit flavors. Frozen fruit yields a cold, refreshing texture suitable for a snack or breakfast drink.
For those without a high-speed blender, blending the leafy and watery ingredients first ensures smoothness before adding frozen fruit prevents chunks. Serve immediately to enjoy optimal texture and freshness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water or almond milk
- 1 banana frozen
- 1 cup strawberries frozen, organic
- 1/4 avocado ripe
- 2 spinach fresh, handfuls
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cacao powder raw, heaping tablespoons
- ice , if needed for texture
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Add a few ice cubes, if desired, for a thicker, more ice-cream-like texture. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Blend water, avocado, and spinach first to eliminate any fibrous bits before adding frozen fruit if using a regular blender.
- Add ice cubes at the end for a thicker, creamy texture resembling ice cream.
- Serve the shake immediately to enjoy the fresh and smooth consistency.
