While looking through some smoothie recipes I have not made yet I ran across this one by Fida @ Sweet and Savory Pursuits which I have tweaked a little. Just delicious sums up this recipe; chocolatey and full of healthy ingredients. You might substitute the vanilla almond milk for chocolate almond milk and leave out the cocoa powder. This is one of those recipes that you can make to your taste. I ended up with a little over 2 cups so I would call this two servings instead of one.
Avocado, Banana and Chocolate Smoothie
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk, unsweetened
- 2 small avocados, chopped (see below – the ones I used were about 2-1/2-inches long)
- frozen banana slices or 1/2 of a fresh one
- 2 tbsp. cocoa, unsweetened
- 2 tsp. honey
- 1 cup of ice cubes (I chop them up in my ice crusher first)
Using a blender add all of the above ingredients. A very good way to start your day.

Oooo lovely flavors going on in your smoothie. Do you know I’ve never tried almond milk? Yet I see so many recipes calling for it, I’ll have to try the unsweetened version.
This is a very good smoothie Loretta. I always use unsweetened almond milk and then add a sweetener. You should try the chocolate flavored – it is really good too 🙂
Just had your peanut butter, banana chocolate smoothie a few minutes ago,I will try this tomorrow. Love the PBBC smoothie, it’s delicious.
Thanks – good to know you tried my WW version. I just love these smoothies Suzanne as they really give a “boost” to my day 🙂
We make smoothies at our house almost every morning. I’ll have to give this one a go. It’s always nice to have new ideas to try out.
Thanks – I feel the same way about trying out new recipes. It just worked out as I had all of the ingredients, including a couple of avocados that needed to be eaten. I will be over to your site to check out your smoothies 🙂
Looks like a great, healthy and energizing way to start the day, Judi! Thanks for sharing your recipe…now I know what to do with the jumbo bag of avocados I picked up at Costco. 🙂
It is delicious and healthy Nancy! Good thing I do not belong to Costco (actually Sam’s) as they would not allow a Costco to be built near me. I wonder where it went? I love the little “babies” just perfect for one person as a whole one can be too much 🙂
Never tried an avocado smoothie. This one looks appetizing and delicious ly healthy Judi👍😃TT Thanks for sharing😃
You definitely need to Skd – avocados are a “power food”. You can’t taste it, but you sure can taste the chocolate flavor 🙂
I really want to try it Judi ☺
Oh wow this smoothie sounds delicious, I definitely need to try it!
It has chocolate in it Michelle! It’s easy and only has a few ingredients 🙂
