A rich, velvety smoothie blending ripe avocado and cocoa powder for a nourishing, indulgent treat perfect for weight loss and quick breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (about 4–5 cubes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: peel and pit the avocado, slice the banana, and measure out the cocoa powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and sweeteners.
  2. Add avocado and banana to the blender; blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Add cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, and almond milk; pulse a few times to mix evenly, then blend for another 30-45 seconds.
  4. Add honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon if using; blend again for 20 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Add ice cubes and blend for 15-20 seconds until chilled and thickened. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick.
  6. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and blend one last time if needed until silky and pourable.
  7. Serve immediately for peak freshness and flavor.

Notes

Use ripe avocado for best creaminess and flavor. Blend in stages to avoid lumps. Adjust sweetness last. Use unsweetened cocoa powder for balanced taste. If blender struggles, pulse and scrape sides. Add frozen banana or chia seeds for thicker texture. Store in airtight container up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.
