Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by gathering your ingredients. Slice open the ripe avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into your blender. Peel the banana and add it to the blender, along with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Pour in your choice of milk, along with 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend all the ingredients on high for about 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Check the thickness of your smoothie; if you prefer a thinner texture, gradually add more milk and blend until desired consistency.
- Pour a small amount into a glass for a taste test. Adjust sweetness with more honey or cocoa if desired, and blend briefly to incorporate.
- Carefully pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and top with shredded coconut or cacao nibs if desired.

Notes
For best results, choose perfectly ripe avocados and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to minimize oxidation.
