Name: Chocolate Avocado Shake
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted; 1 ½ cups vanilla almond milk or other nondairy vanilla milk; 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder; 3 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup, or to taste; 2 tablespoons nondairy semisweet chocolate chips, melted (see Tip); 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or to taste; 12 ice cubes

This rich, healthy chocolate shake recipe is dairy-free and gets its creaminess from avocado instead of ice cream. If you aren't avoiding dairy, you can use regular low-fat milk and any type of semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips in place of the nondairy chocolate chips.

Fat Grams Wrong? I was thinking about making this for an after school snack until I saw each serving has 23 g of fat. How could this be? An avocado has 22 g of fat on average and the other ingredients have very little fat. A total of 2 or 3 grams. This makes 2 servings...so now that I know it is really only 12 g of fat per serving I may make it.

good but not creamy or sweet enough as the recipe stands I'm disappointed. I had to add in another half of an avocado to get it to what I would consider creamy and it required a couple more tblsps of sugar to get it sweet enough. Maybe my blender did't cut up the sugar well enough or maybe I should try to melt the sugar with a teensy bit of water so it will dissolve b/c once the ice is in there I taste bits of frozen chocolate and sugar.

Loved it! This was really good easy to make tastes great. I could drink this almost every day. It's easier to blend the melted chocolate in without the avocado so blend without the avocado and ice; then blend in the avocado and finally the ice. Yummy! Pros: Easy to make tastes great

Tasty Treat I used the dairy substitutes (skim milk regular semi-sweet chocolate chips) and it turned out good! Each serving is large and filling and it has a nice rich taste without adding too much chocolate. We will definitely make these again! Pros: Good flavor easy to make thick smooth texture

Love from an avowed avocado hater... I just don't like guacamole. And thought I would never like anything avocado until I decided to make this. I was so impressed. I did not make it dairy free since I did not have non dairy chocolate chips or almond milk. I will be sure toad to smoothies I make. This gets a full five stars from me! Pros: Easy to make. Cons: Can't think of any

Tastes like Chocolate Pudding! My kids and I enjoyed this recipe very much. I added some egg white protein powder and a handful of spinach and it left me feeling full and energized all morning. My son said it was a winning smoothie recipe.

Loved it! Loved it! I could drink it everyday. Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing

Very tasty. I used agave nectar to sweeten it and omitted the chocolate chips. It still had plenty of chocolate flavor. Will try using stevia.
