Start your day with this chocolate avocado smoothie that’s as creamy as dessert but loaded with wholesome goodness! Rich in healthy fats and an irresistable chocolate flavor, this quick, foolproof recipe is here to refresh your morning routine in the most delicious way possible.

The Only Smoothie You’ll Ever Need
Avocados in a smoothie? Stay with me here—this creamy green fruit isn’t just for avocado toast and guacamole anymore. Yes, its buttery flavor leans more savory, but with a few sweet additions, we can transform it into a silky, chocolatey dream.
This chocolate avocado smoothie is a total nutritional powerhouse. Packed with healthy fats (from avocado), natural sweetness (from banana and honey), and a rich hit of cocoa powder, it screams dessert-for-breakfast vibes.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this will definitely be your new favorite homemade smoothie recipe (and we’ve made a lot of smoothies around here!). Let’s blend!

Let’s Talk Ingredients
This chocolate avocado smoothie is made with only 5 ingredients (all of which are super easy to find!). Jump to the recipe card for exact measurements—this is only an overview.
- Avocado: First, start with a creamy avocado. You’ll be amazed at how it tastes when combined with the other ingredients. (You can also freeze the avocado beforehand to make this drink even frostier!)
- Banana: From there, we’ll add a banana (it should be previously sliced and frozen). The frozen consistency will help make your smoothie icy cold (without the need for ice, which tends to water down smoothies).
- Cocoa Powder: We can’t forget the chocolate component! Add unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich flavor and tons of health benefits. You can also swap chocolate protein powder for a more filling smoothie.
- Honey: Sweeten up the deal with a spoonful of honey. For a vegan chocolate avocado smoothie, try maple syrup, agave, or a date instead.
- Milk: Finish things off with your milk of choice (regular or dairy-free).

This Is A One-Step Deal
Just throw everything in a blender and hit the button! In 60 seconds, you’ll have a delicious, frosty chocolate avocado smoothie. Jump to the recipe card for the full printable instructions!
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a glass, and enjoy!

Not A Banana Fan?
Want a banana-free smoothie? Swap the banana for ¼ can of coconut milk instead! For that same frosty texture, freeze the coconut milk in an ice cube tray first, then blend the frozen cubes right into the smoothie!


Recipe tips
Double Up: Need more than one serving? Simply double the ingredients, but keep it to 1–2 servings per blend. (You don’t want an overloaded blender!)
Add Some Oomph: For a thicker smoothie with an extra protein boost, toss in a scoop of your favorite nut butter—peanut, almond, or even cashew. It will taste delish alongside the chocolate and banana!
Make It Green: Sneak in a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrients. Don’t worry—the chocolate and banana flavors totally hide the greens’ flavor!
