Being pregnant means that I have cravings! And today I wanted a chocolate treat...but still want to keep it healthy. I've read in the past that adding an avocado to your smoothies makes them super smooth and creamy. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous adding an avocado, but REALLY pleased with the outcome. For this smoothie, I blended the milk, spinach, and avocado first to get all the greens really incorporated. Then added the chocolate and frozen bananas. I just ordered this hazelnut spread from Nutiva and (after stirring it!) I am a huge fan! If you don't have this, using organic cocoa is fine. I may try next time to add some frozen cherries, too!
Here's what you'll need:
- 3/4 cup cows milk or coconut milk
- A handful (or 2) or organic spinach
- About 1/4-1/2 avocado (I just used what I had left from another use)
- 3 tsp Nutiva Hazelnut Spread
- 1 frozen banana
- Blender
Directions:
Blend the milk, spinach, and avocado in the blender until well incorporated and smooth.
Add 3 tsp (more or less depending on how chocolatey you like it) of the Nutiva Hazelnut Spread and 1 frozen banana.
Blend until smooth and enjoy!
