Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (if you prefer added sweetness), 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ice cubes if you desire a colder smoothie.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Make sure the avocado is ripe for a creamy texture.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the blender. This will give your smoothie a rich chocolate flavor without added sugars.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. This will serve as the base of your smoothie, providing a creamy consistency while keeping it dairy-free.
- If you like a touch of sweetness, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. You can adjust the amount based on your personal preference.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor that complements the chocolate and avocado.
- If you prefer a chilled smoothie, toss in a few ice cubes. This is optional but recommended for a refreshing drink.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no chunks of avocado left.
- Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you want it sweeter, you can add a bit more maple syrup and blend again.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few slices of avocado if desired.
Tips
- Choose the Right Avocado: Make sure your avocado is perfectly ripe for a creamy texture. A ripe avocado will give your smoothie that silky smooth consistency that’s essential for a delightful drink.
- Customize Your Sweetness: The maple syrup is optional, so taste your smoothie before adding it. If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, you might skip the sweetener altogether!
- Experiment with Milk Alternatives: While almond milk is a fantastic base, feel free to swap it with other plant-based milks like oat, coconut, or soy for different flavor profiles.
- Add Extra Nutrients: Consider tossing in a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder for an added health boost without compromising the taste.
- Blend Thoroughly: To avoid any chunks of avocado, blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth. A high-speed blender works best for achieving that velvety texture.
- Chill It Down: If you enjoy your smoothies icy cold, add more ice cubes before blending. This not only cools it down but also gives it a thicker consistency.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your smoothie experience by garnishing with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few slices of avocado on top before serving.
- Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, enjoy your smoothie right after blending. It’s at its peak deliciousness!
