Chocolate and Banana Milkshake

This chocolate milkshake is thick and creamy, and also perfect for filling you up at breakfast time or a afternoon treat. I made this with frozen banana but you can use fresh banana too, however I like it very cold to enjoy in the summer weather! There is a secret ingredient that might surprise some of you to make it extra creamy and give it a filling taste.... AVOCADO! The avocado is absolutely delicious in this milkshake and gives it an amazing texture that is just as creamy as using real yogurt/milk or ice cream!

Ingredients 

(serves 1)

• 1/3 medium to large hass avocado 
• 1/2 banana (frozen or unfrozen)
• 1 1/2 tsp of almond butter
• 150ml - 250ml (depending on how runny or thick you want it) of oat milk (or almond milk but I haven't tried it with this so can't vouch for its flavour) 
• 1 packet of stevia (1tsp)
• 1tsp of vanilla extract 
• 2tbs of carob powder (or cocoa powder / cacao powder

Method 

1. Chop up the banana and avocado into small chunks (or if using a high power blender like the vitamix then skip this step - I used a bullet however)
2. Blend the banana, the avocado and almond butter until smooth 
3. Add all other ingredients and blend until completely smooth 
4. Pour into a glass and drink up! (I sprinkled some carob powder on the top of the milkshake to make it look pretty!)
