Avocado!
That’s right. We’re putting avocado in the blender this morning ’cause we’re making a chocolate avocado smoothie for breakfast.
Aren’t you excited?! I’m excited too.
See, I’ve never used avocado in a smoothie before because avocados usually don’t make it past salads, bean burritos or stay-at-home burrito bowls around here.
But today, half an avocado is going into the blender with one banana, a good pour of almond milk and a couple teaspoons of cocoa powder. Maybe some spinach too if you feel like it.
Once you puree up your banana, avocado and milk of choice, but before you add the cocoa powder, I highly suggest taking a sample of it at this stage so you can roll your eyes back into your head and moan over how creamy and rich and delicious this is already.
Things that taste this good are not supposed to be good for you.
But it is! It is good for you! Healthy fats, potassium, vitamin E, magnesium, folic acid. The list of nutrients is so long I’m starting to daydream and doodle (artichoke) hearts on my paper here.
In the case that you’re not satisfied with all the awesomeness that an avocado has to offer, throw a handful of spinach in too. Just because you can.
Sweet, rich chocolate avocado goodness for breakfast.
Aren’t you excited?! I’m excited too.
(I’m also hungry.)
Don’t concern yourself too much about the fat content of an avocado, fat can totally be your best friend if you let it be. Healthy fat is always looking for new friends.
Don’t be scared away by the calories either because this isn’t even that scary! Half an avocado only has about 150 calories in it. 150 plus about 100 calories from the banana, this ENTIRE smoothie clocks in at under 300 calories even with the almond milk, cocoa powder and spinach.
But if avocado, banana, chocolate and (optional) spinach aren’t your thing, it’s OK.
You and your pajama clad self can always put strawberries, banana and milk into your blender this morning instead. That works too.
Yes, I am excited about this! Anytime I can have chocolate for breakfast and have it be healthy, I’m excited. Going to try this tomorrow.
How cute is the “tiny Alison” in pink?!! Thanks for that pic
Mmmmmm…..avos in smoothies are my fave! Actually, I like making them so thick they’re more like pudding. Avo and pineapple with coconut milk or water is SO yummy
Strawbs, bananas, and milk are good too … !
Thanks for these ideas Lisa! Now that I know how awesome avocado is in smoothies, I can’t wait to experiment more!
OK, so…I backed slowly away from the window over my kitchen sink, lest the neighbors should see me scraping down the sides of my blender pitcher with a rubber spatula that I kept shoving in my mouth to capture every fascinating and delicious last drop…tomorrow, I’m adding a dollup of nut butter…since I used the bigger “half” of the avodado today anyway.
Oh man, my neighbors saw the exact same sight! I’m sure they heard all the moaning too…
Nut butter! Good thinking!
ohhhhhhhhhhh I love avocado in smoothies.
or bananas
but avocados are so good and creamy!
nicely done!
