How to make a chocolate avocado smoothie 

It takes less than 5 minutes to prep the ingredients and blend up this delicious treat.

Step 1: Add all of the ingredients to a blender.

It doesn’t get much easier than that. I almost always have these ingredients on hand, so whenever I’m in the mood for something cool and chocolatey, this smoothie is my go-to!

Once you taste it, you’ll understand why 🙂

Variations for your smoothie

One of the things I love about smoothies is that they are very easy to customize. You can adjust ingredients based on taste preference or just by what you have on hand!

I like to use liquid Stevia in my smoothies, but any low-carb sweetener will work in this recipe. Feel free to use whatever works for you!

The coconut milk can be replaced by any unsweetened plant or nut milk. If you aren’t vegan, you could also use a few tablespoons of yogurt instead.

You can also replace the avocado with 1/2 a banana if you don’t have a ripe avocado.

One of my top tips for this recipe is to chill the avocado, coconut milk, and 1/2 cup of water beforehand. The cold ingredients make the smoothie seem extra creamy. It’s especially nice on a hot summer day!

Low-carb smoothie nutrition

Thanks to these powerhouse ingredients, this rich smoothie is low-carb, gluten-free, and only 6.6 grams of net carbs per serving!

Amazing, right?

Each serving also contains 30.6 grams of fat (if you use full-fat coconut milk), 2.3 grams of protein, and 5.5 grams of fiber. That means that this smoothie is great for anyone following a low-carb or keto diet.

If you want to decrease the calories and fat, you can use regular unsweetened coconut milk instead of full-fat. That will cut the calories by more than 50 percent!

If you want to increase the protein in the smoothie, you could add a scoop of your favorite protein powder! Chocolate would be a great fit, but if your protein powder is sweetened, you may want to reduce the amount of liquid stevia used in the recipe.

Storage

You can store this smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

The recipe is for 2 servings, so you can enjoy half right away and save the rest for the next time your chocolate craving strikes!

This recipe is for 2 servings of chocolate avocado smoothie.
You can use regular coconut milk instead of full-fat. If you do, the smoothie will have a slightly thinner consistency but also a lot fewer calories.
You can substitute the coconut milk for unsweetened plant milk or nut milk. If you’re not vegan, you could use a few tablespoons of yogurt instead.
