Start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need water, Medjool dates, avocado, cacao powder, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and ice. Having everything ready will make the blending process smoother.
In a high-speed blender, combine the water, dates, avocado, cacao powder, vanilla extract, and peanut butter, if you’re using it. This mixture is the base of your smoothie, so make sure to get a good blend!
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth. Here, you want to watch for the texture; it should resemble a pudding. Take a moment to taste the mixture to ensure that it’s sweet enough and has a strong chocolate flavor. Adjust it according to your preference.
Keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly diluted once you add the ice, so feel free to add a bit more sweetness if needed.
Next, add the ice cubes to the blender. This step transforms your smoothie from a creamy mixture into a refreshing drink.
Blend again until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency. You can add more ice if you prefer a thicker texture, but remember too much will dilute the chocolate flavor.
Once done, pour your Chocolate Avocado Smoothie into a glass. It’s best enjoyed right away for maximum creaminess and flavor.
Garnish with extra cacao powder or a sprinkle of nuts if desired. This adds a nice touch and makes it visually appealing.
Finally, grab a straw, sit back, and enjoy this deliciously healthy treat! You’ve turned simple ingredients into a delightful experience.
