Can we get a round of applause for the avocado, please? I love this creamy fruit! The color, the texture, the versatility, the fiber! It’s a little nutrition powerhouse and it makes me so happy to put that into something fun and sweet.
1 serving of this Black Forest goodness has 34.6 grams of carbohydrates, 7.4 grams of protein, 11.6 grams of fiber (almost HALF your recommended daily intake!), and 12.8 g of fat.

Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3 Tbsp of raw cacao
- 1 Tbsp of Maple Syrup or sweetener of choice
- 5 Tbsp of filtered water or malk of choice
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh cherries to top
- Optional additional toppings - pistachios, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds
Directions
1. Cut your avocado in half, de-pit, and scoop into a blender or food processor.
2. Add the remaining ingredients - minus cherries and other toppings - into the blender.
3. Blend until everything is smooth and creamy - 60 seconds on high.
4. Allow to chill in the fridge and serve with your favorite toppings! If you can’t wait that long, it is delicious at room temperature too
Notes
- If you want to add some protein powder 2 tbsp of collagen blends well
- No fresh cherries - frozen are perfect on a hot day
