Chocolate Avocado Shake

Desserts

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.

Ingredients

1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
1 ½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other nondairy 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

Description

Scoop avocado into a blender; add milk, cocoa, brown sugar (or maple syrup), melted chocolate and vanilla. Pulse and puree until smooth. Add ice and puree until thick and frosty.
