A deliciously rich and thick chocolate avocado smoothie full of healthy ingredients. Dairy and refined sugar free.
I love making smoothies because I get to pack them with lots of healthy ingredients and yet they taste like a delicious milkshake like this green super smoothie. This is a healthy and easy recipe for a smoothie that we like to make here in our house. It’s dairy-free and made with wholesome ingredients like this green vanilla citrus smoothie.
This chocolate avocado smoothie is also full of:
- healthy fat from the almond milk and avocado
- potassium from bananas
- fiber from the chia seeds and dates
- antioxidants from cacao
- protein from the nut butter
This chocolate avocado smoothie is creamy, perfectly delicious, and because of the chia seeds has a bit of thickness which reminds me of chocolate pudding…totally in a good way though! It’s rich and chocolatey goodness you can enjoy guilt-free anytime! So, why not make one now! 🙂
Chocolate Avocado Smoothie

Description
A deliciously rich and thick chocolate smoothie full of healthy ingredients. Includes avocado, chia seeds, bananas, and peanut butter. Dairy free, gluten free, refined sugar free, and vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, frozen if you have it
- 1/2 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1 tablespoon cocoa or cacao powder
- 1–2 tablespoon almond, peanut or other nut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds (Optional. Makes it thicker)
- 1 cup cold almond milk, a little more may be needed if you want it thinner
- 1–2 pitted dates or 1–2 teaspoons of honey/maple syrup, if needed (only use dates if you have a high powered blender)
- few ice cubes, unless you used frozen bananas
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Frozen bananas make the smoothie cold and thicker, but you can add a few ice cubes if you use an unfrozen banana. The amount of dates/honey/syrup you use is a matter of taste. Only add if needed. Because of the chia seeds, this shake thickens as it sits. Add more milk if you’d like it thinner.
