Dark Chocolate Avocado Adaptogen Mylkshake
Having grown up in California, I thought I knew all there was to know about avocados and the various ways to enjoy them.
Mash them up with salt, lime juice, roasted serrano peppers, and cilantro, and you have guacamole. Sliced or mashed up on a piece of toast and you've got avocado toast. Wrap them up into a cylinder of rice with crabmeat, and you have a California roll. Slice them on a sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and tomato and you have an elevated BLT.
How about in a milkshake?
Before you click out and away, hear me out for a sec!
Avocados are great main ingredients in making decadent desserts and shakes that are much healthier.
These creamy fruits are nutritionally packed, rich in antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber, and potassium. Add to that their high levels of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, which has been shown to lower cholesterol, and you have a treat that just might leave you better off than it found you.
So this MYLKSHAKE is pretty darn delicious. I made unintentionally, but sometimes those unintended creations are the best! This Dark Chocolate Avocado Mylkshake has so many good-for-you ingredients: collagen peptides, greens, healthy fats from avocado and coconut, cashew milk, and adaptogens.
