Chocolate + Avocado Nut-butter Shake (Dairy-free, Kid-friendly)

Recipes
Written By Ashley Thurn

We are gearing up for summer over here and I’ve been trying to remind myself of some tried and true classics for keeping us cool in this Miami heat. 

Since I’m already at it, I thought I might as well share with you all one of my kids’ all time favorite (and most requested) shakes:  Chocolate Avocado Nut Butter Shake.  This is the one my kids always ask for when I ask them “what kind of smoothie should I make today?”

It’s creamy, its dreamy, chocolately & healthy too!  I think it tastes like a healthy version of a frosty from Wendy’s!

Here’s how to make it:

INGREDIENTS:

2 frozen bananas (in chunks)
2 tablespoons nut butter of choice
1 tablespoons organic cacao
1 tsp hemp seeds
4-5 small frozen cauliflower heads
1/2 avocado
2 tbsp agave
pinch of cinnamon
2 cups nut milk of your choice

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Place bananas and nut milk in first into a high speed blender.  Then add all the other ingredients.  Blend until smooth and creamy and enjoy!
