Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado pitted and peeled
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder high-quality Dutch-processed preferred
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 0.33 cup pure maple syrup adjust to desired sweetness
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 tsp sea salt to enhance chocolate flavor
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for a chilled smoothie texture
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate shavings for garnish
Notes
This smoothie can be made up to 24 hours in advance if stored in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent oxidation. For a keto-friendly version, substitute the maple syrup with 3-4 drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Leftovers can be frozen in popsicle molds for a healthy fudge pop treat.
