I was in dire need of some chocolate the other day, and as I hadn’t made this chocolate and avocado smooth for a while I decided that would do the trick. And it did!
This is another 2-for-1 recipe where you can either make a chocolate smoothie or a chocolate pudding – and in either case it’s full of healthy nutrients and GREEN!
The recipe is from GreenThickies and is satisfying and filling, like all of the recipes there. Katherine says …
… because I use ground flaxseed in this smoothie (always a great addition for its Omega-3s!), the longer you leave this to sit the thicker it gets. I actually have half of this smoothie with a sandwich for lunch, for example, and then put the rest in the fridge and by dinnertime it’s thickened up so I have the rest as a pudding for dessert! Nothing like a two-for-one smoothie recipe, right?
So, one recipe but the trick of the pudding is to leave it sit in the refrigerator to thicken up.

Recipe: 2-for-1 Rich Thick Chocolate Green Smoothie
Serves 2 (easily doubled)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 ripe Avocado or 1/2 cup Oats
- 2 cups unsweetened vanilla or plain Almond Milk, or Water for a dark chocolate smoothie
- 1 medium Banana, very ripe
- 3 tbsp Cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- 2-3 tbsp ground Flaxseed
- 1 tbsp Cashew Butter*
- 2 cups Spinach
- 4 Dates
- Ice cubes, optional
* I didn’t have cashew butter so substituted a couple of tablespoons of almonds.
Blend until smooth. Refrigerate for a few hours if you want this as a pudding instead of a smoothie.
Enjoy.
