Avocado, coconut, and chocolate smoothie is a thick, milkshake-like blend that tastes far more decadent than it is. Ripe avocado makes it silkily creamy, coconut milk adds tropical richness, and raw honey rounds out the cocoa. Blended with crushed ice, it lands somewhere between a smoothie and soft-serve.
Pro Tips
- Use avocados that are genuinely ripe — they should yield to gentle pressure. Under-ripe avocado leaves the smoothie grassy and thin instead of creamy.
- Blend a full half-minute past smooth. The extra blending whips air into the avocado and gives the drink that milkshake body.
- Raw honey blends better when it is at room temperature. Cold, thick honey from the fridge will not incorporate and leaves sweet streaks.
- For an even thicker shake, freeze the avocado halves before blending and reduce the ice so the flavor stays undiluted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I taste the avocado in this smoothie?
Barely. The cocoa and honey dominate, and the avocado is there purely for that incredible creamy texture. It is a great way to use up ripe avocados.
Is this smoothie dairy-free?
Completely. Avocado, coconut milk, almond milk, cocoa, and honey — no dairy anywhere, which is what makes the creaminess so impressive.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Best fresh, since it is all about that thick, cold texture. You can refrigerate it for a few hours and re-blend with a little extra ice before serving.
