What do you need for Breakfast Avocado Chocolate Smoothie?
To prepare this Creamy Chocolate Avocado Smoothie Recipe, you need the following simple ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Almond Milk: Has a fresh taste with a nutty undertone. You can also replace this with non-dairy milk such as cashew milk, soy milk, hazelnut milk, oat milk, or hemp milk. And are you a coconut lover? Then use coconut milk or coconut water.
- Cocoa: For a deep, intense chocolate flavor. Use unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder.
- Avocado: This green fruit vegetable (yes, it falls between fruit and vegetables) has a neutral, soft, and creamy taste. It gives the smoothie a creamy texture.
- Chia seed: Has a neutral taste, similar to poppy seeds. It contains good nutrients. But be careful not to use more than 1-3 tablespoons daily.
- Cinnamon: It has a sweet, woody flavor with a hint of lemon. We use it here ground.
- Coconut yogurt: A thick pudding-like yogurt. It has a coconut flavor (slightly, not too overpowering) but also the sour taste of yogurt.
