Chocolate Avocado Shake

This rich, healthy chocolate shake recipe is dairy-free and gets its creaminess from avocado instead of ice cream. If you aren't avoiding dairy, you can use regular low-fat milk and any type of semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips in place of the nondairy chocolate chips.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other nondairy milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons nondairy semisweet chocolate chips, melted (see tip)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or to taste
  • 12 ice cubes
