Chocolate Banana Avocado Smoothie Ingredients

Organic Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk: Use your go-to non-dairy milk to get things blended. If I’m not using homemade organic hemp milk, I love the brands Three Trees, MALK Organics, or Edwards & Sons (guar-gum-free coconut milk). They’re all made with high-quality organic ingredients, making them completely clean.
Organic Ground Flax Seeds: These seeds are packed with minerals, omega-3s, and healthy fats. Organic chia seeds would be a great swap.
Organic Raw Cacao Powder: This adds the beloved rich chocolate flavor while providing antioxidants and mood-boosting nutrients. Raw cacao is not the same as Dutch-processed cocoa powder, so be sure to learn more about it in my cacao post.
Organic Unflavored Plant-Based Protein: A serving amps up the protein and ensures that this avocado chocolate smoothie satisfies down to the last sip. When browsing protein powders, both quality and quantity matter. For the best brands and more information, check out my cleanest plant-based protein powders post!
High-Quality Honey: Local raw unfiltered honey or Manuka honey is my favorite natural sweetener for this chocolate avocado smoothie recipe. For a vegan option, use 1 small organic pitted Medjool date.
Organic Vanilla Powder and Celtic Sea Salt: A smidge of vanilla powder and a pinch of Celtic sea salt tie all the flavors together while providing extra minerals.
Organic Avocado: This star ingredient gives this blend a dreamy texture, healthy fats, and makes it filling. Fresh or frozen will do; just be sure that it’s ripe.
Organic Frozen Banana: Always use a frozen banana instead of fresh. This ensures that you don’t need to add ice cubes, as that would water down the delicious and decadent chocolate flavors.

Steps to Make This Chocolate Avocado Smoothie Recipe

Blend the Liquids, Dry Ingredients, and Sweetener. Start by adding the non-dairy milk, dry ingredients, and sweetener to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
Blend the Avocado and Frozen Banana. Next, add the avocado and frozen banana. Begin blending on the lowest speed and gradually increase as the ingredients come together. If the smoothie is too thick, scrape down the sides and add extra liquid as needed until it reaches a silky, smooth consistency.
Serve. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy!

Creamy Chocolate Avocado Smoothie Your Way

To make this Chocolate Avocado Protein Smoothie truly dream-worthy for you, I’ve included a few healthy ideas for customizing it, but feel free to get creative and make it your own!

Organic Cacao Nibs: Sprinkle a teaspoon or two on top for a satisfying chocolate crunch in every sip.
Organic Plain Coconut Yogurt: A swirl of probiotic-rich coconut yogurt adds extra creaminess and supports digestion.
Organic Nut or Seed Butter: Boost the healthy fats and protein by blending in a tablespoon of your favorite organic nut or seed butter. Any variety complements the other ingredients beautifully.
Organic Greens: Toss in a handful of greens to increase the minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Organic baby spinach is my favorite because it just changes the color slightly without affecting the taste.

Avocado Chocolate Smoothie Tips You Need to Know

As a daily smoothie maker, I’ve learned a few techniques to create the best blend each time. Here are my go-to strategies for making this Chocolate Avocado Protein Smoothie creamy and balanced.

Use a Frozen Banana: Skip the ice and use a frozen banana. It creates the perfect thick texture without watering down the rich chocolate flavor.
Liquid Volume: For a milkshake-like consistency, use the amount provided in the ingredient list. If you prefer a more pourable smoothie, gradually add more liquid a splash at a time until it reaches your desired texture.
Use the Best Blender: A great blender makes all the difference, and I cannot recommend Vitamix’s 48-oz stainless steel container enough. It’s the perfect size for consistent, smooth results.
Follow the Steps: In the instructions, I share my tried-and-true method: blend the liquids and dry ingredients first before adding the frozen ingredients. This ensures a silky, lump-free smoothie with no chalky texture.
Start Slow, Then Increase: When adding the avocado and banana, start blending on the lowest speed, then slowly increase as the ingredients smooth out. This achieves a creamy and dreamy smoothie. Please don’t jump from low to high speed, as this can affect the texture.
Chilled at Every Sip: Pop your serving glass in the freezer as you make your blend to enjoy a cold smoothie from the first sip to the last.
Powder Prep: If your days are tight, prep your dry ingredients in a glass jar the day before. This makes assembly quick and convenient.

Prep-Ahead Hints

Storing: Transfer the smoothie to a glass jar and seal with a lid. Refrigerate for up to 2 days, stirring it really well before sipping.
Scale It: Double the recipe as written to make two days’ worth of a creamy chocolate avocado smoothie.
