Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small ripe avocado (about 120 g flesh), peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk from a carton; for extra richness, use canned light coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • 1–2 tablespoons granulated keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend), to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt (enhances chocolate flavor)
  • 1/2–1 cup ice (adjust for thickness and chill)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter (check carbs), 1 tablespoon chia or flaxseed, 1 scoop unflavored collagen or keto-friendly protein, a pinch of instant espresso for deeper chocolate notes
  • Optional toppings: Sugar-free chocolate shavings, unsweetened coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Prep the avocado: Halve it, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into your blender. Make sure it’s ripe for the best texture.
  2. Add the liquids: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract. This helps the blades catch the solids.
  3. Layer the dry ingredients: Add cocoa powder, sweetener, and a pinch of salt. The salt boosts the chocolate flavor.
  4. Blend once before ice: Start blending on low, then increase to medium until smooth. This prevents clumps.
  5. Add ice and adjust: Drop in the ice and blend on high until thick and frosty. If it’s too thick, splash in more milk; too thin, add a bit more ice or a few avocado chunks.
  6. Taste and fine-tune: Adjust sweetness or cocoa to your liking. Add optional extras like nut butter or collagen and blend again briefly.
  7. Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass and add your favorite keto-friendly toppings if you like.
