Instructions
Measure out the ingredients.
Add to a blender.
Blend, starting on low and gradually increasing to high. Blend on high for about 30 seconds to make sure the mixture is very smooth.
Serve.
Notes
To make this with white milk, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup to taste if needed.
Blend super smooth for the best texture.
You can use dairy or nondairy milk.
Skip the avocado if you don't have it. (Frozen avocado works too.)
Serve in an open cup, a reusable pouch, or in a small bowl with a spoon.
Start with a small serving with kids still learning to like smoothies.
