Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 medium banana, frozen
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Peel and pit the avocado, slice the banana (if frozen, no need to thaw), and measure out all other ingredients.
- Place avocado, frozen banana, cocoa powder, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of sea salt into a high-speed blender in that order.
- Blend starting on low speed, then increase to high, blending for 1-2 minutes until smooth and thick, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed.
- Adjust consistency by adding more almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time) if too thick, or more frozen banana or ice cubes if too thin, then blend again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa powder as desired, blending briefly to mix.
- Pour smoothie into a wide bowl.
- Add optional toppings such as sliced strawberries, granola, cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or sliced almonds.
- Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
Notes
Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly under gentle pressure for best creaminess. Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and thickness. Adjust sweetener and cocoa powder gradually to taste. For a cooler bowl, freeze smoothie for 5 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir before serving and add almond milk if needed to loosen.
