    This chocolate avocado smoothie has become my go-to for a simple and energy-boosting start to the day! Smoothies are my favorite way to pack in nutrients with minimal effort, and this one has earned a permanent spot in my routine.

    This particular recipe, which we affectionately call chocolate avocado crema at home, is one I whip up frequently—and honestly, it’s a top favorite because, well... chocolate!

    It boasts a thick, smooth, velvety texture, almost like a milkshake, and it’s packed with wholesome ingredients. Trust me, even if you’re skeptical about avocado in a sweet drink, you won’t taste it—it just adds that incredible creaminess.

    Ingredients

    Plant-based ingredients for chocolate avocado smoothie.
    • Avocado: Choose a ripe avocado that feels slightly soft to the touch—perfect for blending into a creamy, velvety smoothie.
    • Banana: I used a frozen banana to keep the smoothie chilled and thick, but a fresh one works just as well.
    • Peanut butter: Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for the best flavor and nutrition (check out my homemade peanut butter recipe!).
    • Cocoa powder: Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder to keep this smoothie rich, chocolatey, and refined sugar-free.
    • Dates: Soft dates blend easily for natural sweetness—if yours are a bit firm, just soak them in hot water for 10 minutes to soften.
    • Almond milk: I used homemade almond milk for this recipe, but feel free to swap in your favorite dairy-free milk like soy, coconut, or oat milk.

    How To Make Chocolate Avocado Smoothie

    Substitutions and Variations

    • For a nut-free version: Substitute sunflower seed butter or tahini for peanut butter and use soy or coconut milk.
    • Protein boost: Add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
    • Extra greens: Blend in a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost without altering the flavor significantly.
    • To enhance sweetness: Add more dates or a touch of maple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
    • Add oatmeal: Add 2-3 tablespoons of rolled oats for a thicker, more filling smoothie that will keep you satisfied longer.
    • To add healthy fats: Incorporate a teaspoon of chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, or pumpkin seeds.
    • Make it thicker: Add a few ice cubes or use all frozen fruit for an ultra-thick, frosty texture.

    Marinela's Tips

    • Use frozen banana: I recommend slicing and freezing ripe bananas in advance for a thick and creamy texture. If you're using a fresh banana, just toss in a few ice cubes to chill the smoothie.
    • Add milk first: Always pour the milk into the blender first, followed by the other ingredients—this helps everything blend smoothly and evenly.
    • Make it a smoothie bowl: Reduce the milk to about ½ cup for a thicker consistency, then pour into a bowl and top with your favorite fruit, nuts, and granola.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

    What can I use instead of dates?

    You can use maple syrup, agave, or stevia to sweeten the smoothie naturally.

    What can I use instead of peanut butter?

    Almond butter, cashew butter, or tahini are excellent alternatives.

    My smoothie is too thick, what should I do?

    Add more almond milk or water, a little at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
