Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 1/2 avocado, diced (roughly 75g)
- 30g chocolate whey protein powder
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp honey (or use agave/maple syrup if vegan)
- 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt (use 2 tbsp of almond milk if vegan)
- 30g raspberries, to serve
- 10g 100% dark chocolate, finely grated, to serve
Method:
- In a blender, combine the avocado, whey protein, cacao powder, melted coconut oil, Greek yoghurt and honey.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and a creamy consistency.
