DARK CHOCOLATE AVOCADO INDULGENCE

Dark Chocolate Avocado Indulgence is a luscious, nutrient-rich smoothie that blends the creaminess of avocado with the deep, rich taste of dark chocolate. Almond milk provides a light, dairy-free base, while maple syrup adds natural sweetness. A touch of cinnamon enhances the flavour with subtle warmth, creating a perfectly balanced drink. This smoothie is packed with antioxidants, healthy fats and fibre, making it an excellent option for a nourishing breakfast, a post-workout boost or a guilt-free dessert. The velvety texture makes it feel indulgent, yet it is entirely wholesome. Whether you sip it on the go, enjoy it as a mid-day treat or top it with nuts and cacao nibs for a more decadent experience, this drink is a satisfying way to curb chocolate cravings while supporting overall wellness.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this dark chocolate avocado indulgence.

  • Use Ripe Avocado: A soft, ripe avocado blends smoothly and adds a creamy texture.
  • Chill The Almond Milk: Using cold almond milk makes the smoothie more refreshing.
  • Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the maple syrup based on preference or use a sugar-free alternative.
  • Boost The Chocolate Flavour: Use dark cocoa powder for a richer, more intense chocolate taste.
  • Make It Extra Thick: Reduce the almond milk for a pudding-like consistency, perfect for a smoothie bowl.
  • Enhance The Spice: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle heat that complements the chocolate.

VARIATIONS

  • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder for extra protein.
  • Nutty Twist: Blend in a teaspoon of almond butter or peanut butter for a richer taste.
  • Mocha Version: Stir in ½ tsp of instant coffee or espresso powder for a coffee-infused treat.
  • Coconut Blend: Swap almond milk for coconut milk to enhance the tropical notes.
  • Berry Infusion: Add a handful of raspberries or cherries for a fruity twist.
  • Chia Seed Boost: Blend in a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fibre and omega-3s.
  • Decadent Treat: Top with dark chocolate shavings and crushed nuts for a dessert-like experience.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Stir before drinking.
  • Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend with fresh almond milk when ready to serve.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-portion avocado and cocoa powder into freezer bags for quick blending on busy mornings.
