Chocolate Avocado Milkshakes

I admit it, I totally want to try this! I love avocado, I love chocolate, but my biggest hurdle at the moment is that I don’t usually just keep avocados on hand so my own venture will have to wait until my next grocery day.

Anyway, I found the recipe (along with the picture above) on flickr, and if you try it out please let me know how it turns out!

Chocolate Avocado Shake

1 ripe avocado, peeled and seeded
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk or 1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
2 cups vanilla flavored rice, soy, or almond milk (if using 2 cups plain milk, add 1 teaspoon ‘pure’ vanilla extract plus an extra splash of condensed milk)
2 shots espresso, optional
1 cup crushed ice

Optional garnishes: Shaved chocolate, whipped cream

Put ice, milk of choice, avocado, cocoa, and sweetened condensed milk (or honey) and espresso into a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Serve.
