Ingredients
Ingredients
- Milk – can also use your choice of milk or milk alternative. Coconut Milk, Almond Milk, soy milk, oat milk etc.
- Cocoa Powder – unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
- Spinach – spinach leaves that have been rinsed and dried.
- Avocado – half a de-pitted ripe avocado.
- Sweetener – use your preferred sweetener.
Ingredient Substitution
For a vegan-friendly twist, you can easily substitute the milk in this smoothie with a plant-based milk alternative. My recommendation is almond milk.
🥑 Avocado Note
For the creamiest and smoothest texture, it’s best to use a Ripe Avocado in your smoothie.
Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
Step 1 Begin by removing the pit and skin from the avocado.
Step 2 Next, place half of the avocado, along with the milk, cocoa powder, spinach, ice cubes, and sweetener in your blender.
🍓 Fruit Pro Tip
If you’re thinking of incorporating extra fruits, opt for Frozen Fruits. This eliminates the need for additional ice, preventing any dilution of your smoothie’s flavors and maintaining a creamy consistency.
Step 3 Blend everything on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
🥤 Texture Pro Tip
Adjust the amount of Milk to control the thickness of your smoothie. Add more for a thinner consistency or less for a thicker one.
Paring Recommendations
Pair your healthy smoothie with delightful accompaniments like my Coconut White Chocolate Clusters or Candied Glazed Macadamia Nuts. These sweet treats perfectly complement the smoothie’s rich cocoa flavor, providing a blend of textures and tastes, making it a satisfying and healthy snack.
