This Chocolate Avocado Smoothie is extra thick and creamy, perfectly sweet, packed with flavour and highly nutritious. Whether or not you love avocado, you’ll love the smooth, creamy texture it adds to this smoothie.
This amazing chocolate banana smoothie is incredibly creamy and has just the right consistency and rich, decadent and delicious taste. If you’re not a big avocado fan, don’t worry, you can’t taste it in the smoothie so its a good way to enjoy the many benefits of avocado, even if you’re not an eat-an-avcoado-with-a-spoon kinda person.
You can’t taste the cauliflower either so it’s a good way to sneak some of this fibre-rich veggie into your diet.
I also added dates but they could be left out if you don’t have any or want to reduce the sugar content. I added plant-based protein for extra protein and sweetness. I recommend adding 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt as it really enhances the flavour of the smoothie.
Cauliflower in Smoothies
I used to just use raw cauliflower in smoothies but since I started paying more attention to how I was feeling after eating certain foods and realized that it might have been the culprit of some bloating and digestive issues, I’ve switched to lightly steaming it before freezing.
I think it depends on the amount too though, I only used 1/2 cup of cauliflower pieces in this smoothie so I could probably tolerate it without steaming. You know your body best. If you can tolerate raw cauliflower go for it, but most of our digestive systems could probably benefit from lightly steaming it first.
