Tips For Making A Chocolate Smoothie
Making this chocolate smoothie is seriously simple because you start with Almond Breeze® Chocolate Almondmilk. Made with real Blue Diamond almonds, it contains 50% more calcium than regular dairy milk.
Seriously, it’s delicious. Drink it straight or blend it into a smoothie. You’ll love the taste, guaranteed (or your money back). It’s available in a variety of sizes and flavors which are all free from dairy, soy, and lactose.
In addition, Almond Breeze® Chocolate Almondmilk is a great source of vitamin D and E, non-GMO Project verified and vegan as well.
Just take all the ingredients, add into a high-powered blender, and puree until smooth. Simple, quick, and easy to make for your busy, on-the-go morning.
Remove the skin from the avocado and scoop it out. Add the avocado into the blender as well.
Put the lid on the blender and puree until smooth!
Pour your smoothie into a glass and top with more ground flax seeds, a few mini chocolate chips, and some fresh mint if you want a bit if visual appeal. Of course, you can just skip the decorating and enjoy it plain as well!
Ingredient Additions and Substitutions
Here are a few recipe additions, substitutions, and variations if you want to switch things up a little bit.
Fresh spinach: Greens make a great addition to this chocolate smoothie. Spinach will add nutrients without changing the flavor at all.
Protein powder: If you want a real boost of protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
Seeds: Add chia seeds or flax seeds for more fiber and protein if desired.
Nut butters: If you want more protein, add whatever nut or seed butters you have on hand. Cashew, peanut, or sunflower butter are all great choices.
Sweeteners: I find that the Almond Breeze® Chocolate Almondmilk is sweet enough in this smoothie, however, if you want it sweeter, add a few medjool dates or a little bit of honey or agave nectar.
