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.

Thank you. Served for dessert tonight. Used carob power instead of cocoa because chocolate is not in the diet right now (don’t know for how long). My DH was (“chocolate”) satisfied. Is this able to be frozen–a substitute for ice cream (another thing that I need to not eat).
Tried this it was delicious!
Thank you for your feedback, Kait!
This is SO up my street.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
So glad, hope you like it Kimberly! 🙂
