Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and wholesome protein shake combining creamy avocado, rich cocoa, and protein powder for a nutritious and indulgent boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (~30g) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor, plant-based or whey)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, or coconut milk)
  • 1 small frozen banana
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 3–4 ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and pit the avocado. Peel the banana and cut into chunks if fresh; if frozen, no need to thaw.
  2. Place avocado, banana, protein powder, and cocoa powder in the blender.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) of your chosen milk.
  4. Drizzle in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using.
  5. Add ice cubes and chia or flaxseeds if desired.
  6. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds, stopping halfway to scrape down the sides for even mixing.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey/maple syrup or milk as needed.
  8. Serve immediately, optionally sprinkling a pinch of cocoa powder on top.

Notes

Use ripe avocado for best texture and flavor. Frozen banana is key for thickness. Scrape blender sides halfway through blending to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness and thickness to taste. Can add nut butters or greens for variations. Store in fridge up to 24 hours, shake before drinking.
