Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the ripe avocado, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, the fine sea salt, and the vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the smoothie consistency. Add 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk if too thick, or a few more ice cubes if too thin, and blend briefly.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use very ripe avocado for the creamiest texture and natural sweetness. Maple syrup makes this smoothie vegan-friendly.
