Print Recipe

A creamy, rich chocolate avocado smoothie perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack. This smoothie combines healthy fats and natural sweetness for a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably organic cacao powder)
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, or coconut milk)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste; use agave for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • 4 to 6 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: peel and pit the avocado, peel and chunk the banana, and measure out cocoa powder, milk, and sweetener (5 minutes).
  2. Add avocado, banana, cocoa powder, milk, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and optional chia or flaxseeds to the blender (2 minutes).
  3. Blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds until smooth and velvety. Add more milk if too thick or a couple of ice cubes if too thin (1-2 minutes).
  4. Add 4 to 6 ice cubes and blend again until smooth and frothy (30 seconds).
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity by adding more maple syrup, honey, or cocoa powder as desired (1 minute).
  6. Serve immediately in a glass or mason jar. Optionally, sprinkle cocoa powder or shaved dark chocolate on top.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for smooth texture. Freeze banana chunks for thicker smoothie. Adjust sweetener slowly to taste. If blender struggles, pause and scrape sides. Fresh avocado flavor is delicate—avoid overpowering with too much cocoa powder. Protein powder can be added for a boost. Leftovers keep up to 24 hours refrigerated; stir before drinking. Avoid freezing leftovers to prevent grainy texture.
