Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water or almond milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen organic strawberries
  • 1/4 ripe avocado
  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 heaping tablespoon raw cacao powder
  • ice, if needed for texture

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your frozen strawberries, banana, and avocado are ready—this ensures a smooth blend.
  2. In a high-speed blender, pour in the water or almond milk. This will act as the base of your shake and help all ingredients blend smoothly.
  3. Add in the frozen banana. This ingredient is crucial for achieving that creamy texture and natural sweetness.
  4. Next, toss in the frozen organic strawberries. They’ll provide that wonderful fruity flavor and beautiful color.
  5. Now, add the ripe avocado. It may seem unconventional, but it contributes to the shake's creaminess and health benefits.
  6. Throw in the fresh spinach. Don’t worry; you won’t taste it, but it adds a nutritional boost!
  7. Sprinkle in the raw cacao powder. This is where the chocolatey goodness comes from!
  8. Lastly, add the vanilla extract. This enhances the overall flavor of your shake.
  9. Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. If you want a thicker texture, throw in some ice cubes and blend again.
  10. Once your shake is well-blended, pour it into a glass and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a strawberry on the rim for a pretty presentation!

Notes

  • If you don't own a high-speed blender, I'd recommend blending the water, avocado, and spinach first, until they are completely broken down with no bits or pieces visible.
  • Then, add in the frozen fruit, vanilla, and cocoa, and blend again until completely smooth.
