Banana, Avocado, Chocolate smoothie GIVEAWAY!!

This is the most amazing smoothie EVER!! I promise if you love chocolate, you will LOVE this! Avocado pairs really well with chocolate, and the banana...well its a match made in heaven. CHOCOLATE HEAVEN.

2 bananas
1 avocado
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup ice 
1 cup non-dairy milk
1tsp Acai powder


kid approved

A Canadian company Earth Notions sent me a bunch of Organic Acai powder. I have never used Acai powder before so I had to do a little research on it.  I have read that it has health benefits, along with the essential fatty acids and is very high in antioxidants.There is only one ingredient  Organic Acai fruit, which is what you want when you are buying Acai products.With anything its important to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. 

If you would like to try out some Organic Acai powder just leave a comment, one comment per person please...and you will be entered to win a bag! ( there will be 5 winners!!)

    I have to admit, that adding avocado with banana seems weird, BUT because there is chocolate in their I will try it. Chocolate does make everything taste better! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    I love Açaí and have been using it a lot for smoothies. Avocado shake was also my childhood beverage.

    It would be awesome to try it! I've never used "powders" like that, but just got a Vita-Mix and ordered some hemp powder, so this would be a great addition!!

    Oooh, the smoothie looks fantastic! I'm going to try it with raw cacao powder; I have a bunch. I love Açaí - but I've only had it in the frozen form....I'd love to add the powder to my morning smoothies - yum!

    First of all: Hello Chocolate! And LOL at happy child-approved chocolate face! So how do you pronounce ACAI? Is each letter pronounced--like A-K-A-I? I'm just curious is all. But I would love to try it, too! Thanks, girl!

    I've never tried Organic Acai powder but my brother-in-law lost some weight while using it. I'd love to try it in our smoothies.

    That smoothie looks amazing! I usually have them as a mid day pick-me-up, and would feel bad having chocolate, but I guess the avocado and acai balance it out, right? ;)

    My comment has nothing to do with the Acai powder, but just came across your blog for the first time and love it! I had never thought of using avocados blended alongside anything else, but this is the second time I've read of it recently. Your smoothie sounds DELICIOUS! I will have to try it. Thanks for the idea!
