This creamy brownie batter chocolate smoothie is packed with good for you ingredients but tastes like dessert! Have it for breakfast, a snack, or healthy dessert. It’s paleo friendly, dairy free, vegan and free of refined sugar. Add your favorite chocolate protein powder for an extra chocolate kick!
After I made this chocolate chip cookie smoothie I was totally hooked on the idea of making my favorite desserts into smoothies!
You get the flavor and creamy texture you crave in a dessert but a much healthier version.
With no added sugar (totally fruit sweetened!) and good for you ingredients like avocado, raw cacao powder, banana, and almond milk, you can make a thick creamy smoothie that you’d swear was a decadent milkshake!
Only better – I’m telling you!
My smoothie kick is leading to very delicious things! Just can’t wait until fall to make a creamy pumpkin pie smoothie! Or maybe pumpkin cheesecake. Can’t decide!
But let’s stay on track (my attention to one recipe is limited as you can see!) with this creamy brownie batter chocolate smoothie.
What You Need to Make this Paleo Brownie Batter Chocolate Smoothie
The ingredients are super simple and thrown together effortlessly!
For the yogurt, I love Kite Hill Almond Milk Greek Style Yogurt (use it for all my smoothies).
To make the smoothie vegan, use a plant based protein powder and to keep it paleo, use chocolate collagen powder like Ancient Nutrition or Vital Proteins.
You can freeze your avocado chunks in advance or buy them frozen if you can find them! I like to freeze my banana slices in advance to have them around for recipes.
Here’s everything you need to make this smoothie:
- frozen avocado chunks
- banana, sliced and frozen
- raw cacao powder
- almond butter
- medjool dates, pitted
- dairy free plain or vanilla yogurt (I used Kite Hill Greek style yogurt)
- unsweetened almond milk
- chocolate collagen or protein powder, optional (I used Ancient Nutrition)
- chopped dark chocolate, for serving (optional) – Evolved Chocolate is great and now has chocolate chips too!
How to Make this Paleo Brownie Batter Chocolate Smoothie
This is a thicker smoothie (especially when you add less almond milk) so a high speed blender works best, like a Vitamix.
I used a Ninja blender and it came out great!
Simple place all ingredients (except for the chopped chocolate) in a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Add around 1 1/2 cups almond milk for a thinner smoothie, and closer to 1 cup for a thicker smoothie.
Pour into 2 or 3 glasses and top with chopped chocolate if desired.
Substitutions for this Chocolate Smoothie
I’ve heard from some people who hate bananas and want to know if there’s something else they can sub in.
The strange answer to this is frozen cauliflower! It won’t give you the sweetness of bananas but the texture will be similar.
For added sweetness, either throw in an extra medjool date or more of your favorite chocolate flavored protein powder. You can always taste and adjust.
If you don’t need the smoothie to be paleo and vegan, you can make it with plain greek yogurt instead of plant based.
You can also sub in any nut butter you like (peanut butter for non-paleo!) and even swap out the dates for 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup or agave.
I hope you’re ready for a serious treat of a breakfast!
Grab your ingredients and your favorite blender because it’s time for the BEST chocolate smoothie – let’s go!

The atmosphere in these countries is so unfavorable that local ladies are ready for everything to escape from their homeland. They haunt foreigners to obtain https://latin-dating.org/ residence and leave their husbands. This is no more than a prejudice. Yes, Latin singles want a better life, but this is not the reason why they would date a foreigner.

This is my favorite shake! And that’s saying something because I have well over a hundred different ones pinned. I use Truvani chocolate protein powder. I make it only for myself so I don’t measure most of the ingredients but I do still use a full frozen banana. It’s so rich and chocolatey. No one would believe this is good for you.
My favorite shake is this one! I have probably over a hundred different ones pinned, so that says something. Truvani chocolate protein powder is what I use. I use a whole frozen banana even though I don’t measure most of the ingredients because I just prepare it for myself. It has a deep, chocolaty flavor, retro bowl college. Nobody would think this is healthy for you.
