Ingredients you'll need
Ingredient notes
- Avocado- you'll only need half of an avocado for this recipe. And you want to make sure it's a ripe avocado. You can freeze ripe avocado if needed. If using a frozen avocado the smoothie will be thicker.
pro tip- the avocado can be frozen before adding to the smoothie. Just cut in half, remove the seed and cut into smaller pieces and remove the skin. Lay on a parchment lined pan in the freezer till firm about 1 hour and then transfer to a freezer safe bag or container.
- Cacao powder- unsweetened or you could substitute with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Banana- make sure to use an over ripe banana that has been frozen prior to making the smoothie.
- Vanilla almond milk- unsweetened or any of your favorite plant based milks should work.
Recipe notes and tips
Make sure you're using a high powered blender for this. I love my Vitamix for this type of thing.
The banana needs to be overripe and frozen for optimal flavor.
It's optional whether or not you freeze the avocado.
How to make this avocado smoothie recipe
- Just put all of the ingredients in a high powered blender and blend till smooth and creamy.
- You can easily make the smoothie thicker or thinner if you prefer. Just adjust the amount of milk you add. Use less milk for thicker and add more to thin it out.
Garnish with extra chocolate if preferred and serve your delicious chocolate avocado smoothie...

Hi Susan, I just updated the recipe card with the nutritional information! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you so much Stephanie! This has become my very favorite breakfast smoothie. I also freeze the avocado once it is ripe and it makes the smoothie colder. Great recipe and so easy to throw together in the morning before heading out the door to go to work. Appreciate you doing that for me.
You're Welcome Susan! And thanks for the tip about freezing the Avocado! ❤️
