    ChocoCado. Chocolate Avocado Smoothie. Protein-Infused.


    On super busy days, sometimes I just need a really easy boost of energy to keep me powering through the day. I love smoothies for this type of craving. And smoothies with avocado are pretty fantastic. My smoothies need to satisfy in two ways – 1) they must taste amazing! 2) they should make me feel good from the inside out.

    This creamy chocolate shake does both those things.

    So for a quick, delicious, energizing boost, blend up this rich and chocolate-y ChocoCado Vegan Protein Shake. Creamy and satisfying with a cravable chocolate flavor…

    Into the Vitamix. I added a few frozen grapes too..

    You could also add in a handful of greens like kale or spinach. The greens blend very well into this chocolate shake!

    For my shake, I used Vega’s energizing chocolate protein powder, but I have a modified recipe version for you as well.

    ChocoCado Vegan Protein Shake

    ⅓ – ½ avocado (use ½ for small avocados, ⅓ for larger sizes)
    1 cup ice cubes
    ¾ cup water, chilled
    1 banana, frozen
    1 packet or 1 scoop VEGA Energizing Smoothie in Choc-a-lot flavor OR see notes

    optional: 2-4 tablespoon frozen grapes, to add more sweetness and frosty texture

    Directions: Blend and serve!

    note:
    * If you do not have VEGA’s chocolate shake powder you can use your own vegan sweetened chocolate-flavored protein powder. Or go protein-free too.

    Modified ChocoCado Shake (without VEGA protein powder)

    1 cup soy or almond milk, vanilla
    1 banana, frozen
    ⅓ – ½ avocado
    1 cup ice
    1 tablespoon dark chocolate cacao powder (dairy-free)
    1-3 teaspoon agave or maple syrup
    protein boost: 1 scoop or your favorite vegan protein powder (hemp, soy, etc..)

    optional: 2-4 tablespoon frozen grapes, to add more sweetness and frosty texture
