Equipment
- blender I use and love my Blendtec Designer Series Blender
- Smoothie Tumbler These smoothie tumblers are fantastic for taking your smoothie on-the-go!
Ingredients
- 1 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt 2% or 5% is ideal
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 fresh avocado or 1/2 c. frozen avocado chunks
- 1 chocolate protein powder 1 oz. scoop
- 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 tsp. granular monk fruit sweetener like Lakanto or Whole Earth
Instructions
- To a blender jar, add the milk, yogurt, banana, avocado, protein powder, cocoa powder and sweetener. For best blending results, add your liquid ingredients first, as this will help the viscosity of the blades in blending through the frozen ingredients.
- Blend for 45-60 seconds or until the smoothie is completely smooth and the frozen ingredients are completely incorporated.
- Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy right away while cold.
Notes
Milk options: Feel free to use the milk of your choice, dairy or plant based.
Protein Powder: I used Orgain Organic Protein Powder, Chocolate Fudge flavor. 1 scoop is (1 ounce) and it has 85 calories and 10.5g of protein per scoop. Feel free to use chocolate or unflavored protein or collagen of your choice. Given the amount you are adding to the smoothie, you may need to add a little more liquid to help the powder fully incorporate and become smooth.
