Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or unsweetened coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 small ripe avocado (or 2 tablespoons almond butter)
  • 1–2 tablespoons granulated or powdered keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend), to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Optional boosts: 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 scoop unflavored or chocolate collagen or whey isolate, 1 tablespoon MCT oil

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first: Pour almond milk and heavy cream into the blender. This helps the blades catch the dry ingredients.
  • Add the base: Scoop in the avocado (or almond butter), cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  • Customize: If using chia seeds, protein powder, or MCT oil, add them now.
  • Top with ice: Add the ice cubes last so they blend smoothly.
  • Blend until creamy: Start low, then increase speed. Blend 30–45 seconds until thick and velvety.
  • Taste and adjust: If it’s not sweet enough, add a little more sweetener. For extra thickness, blend in more ice or a few chia seeds and let sit 2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy right away for the best texture.
