Avocado and Chocolate Smoothie
Smoothies have been popular for so long but I’m really just discovering how delicious they can be.  I’ve been experimenting with different flavour combinations, there are so many possibilities! But for today, I’ll be sharing this Avocado and Chocolate Smoothie with you.  It’s so incredibly chocolatey, creamy and delicious its hard to believe that it’s actually good for you! Did you know that avocado is a nutrient booster. Eating avocados actually helps your body to absorb more of the nutrients of the foods that you eat with the avocados. It’s also a great source of dietary fibre, and per gram, contains more potassium than bananas (California Avocado Commission, Live Science).

Avocado and Chocolate SmoothieFor those who are thinking that avocado and chocolate could not possibly taste good together, you really should give it a try. Avocado on its own does not have a strong taste so it blends well with other flavours. Plus, all that creaminess makes the avocado perfect for use in smoothies.

Avocado and Chocolate SmoothieWhen making this smoothie make sure that you use a ripe avocado, using an unripened avocado will not blend well or yield a creamy smoothie.  You can use any milk you like, but since some almond milks contain more sugar than others, remember to adjust for sweetness. Enjoy!

  10. YES avocado + chocolate is a match made in heaven. If it wasn’t so darn “nutrient-dense” I’d enjoy it all the time. I know there’s also a really yummy recipe for avocado brownies!!

  1. Stran je v izdelavi! In working progress. Go to – https://tastasty.wordpress.com/ – Remake – Avocado and chocolate smoothie says:

    […] I used a bit more milk, the regular one and less ice as Fida, because I did not want it to be too cold, and the thing I changed is also that I added one whole banana, because it was quite small. So I was able to get 2 glasses from it and I shared it with my boyfriend who liked it a lot! He wanted to drink mine too after he finished his, so I let him have a sip..:) You can read the original recipe here. […]
