Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 ripe avocado, pit and skin removed
1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional)
Natural sweetener to taste (e.g. stevia, monk fruit, or maple syrup)
4–5 ice cubes
Instructions
1. Pour the almond milk into a blender as the liquid base.
2. Add the avocado and any sweetener you’re using.
3. Add protein powder, cacao powder, and optional chia or flaxseed.
4. Top with ice cubes.
5. Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
6. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or ice as desired.
7. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use a ripe avocado for best texture—slightly soft to the touch, not mushy.
Raw cacao offers more antioxidants than regular cocoa.
For extra fat-burning, add cinnamon or cayenne pepper.
Customize with spinach, nut butter, or vanilla extract for added flavor or nutrients.
Best consumed fresh. If storing, keep in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
