This is a truly healthy option for you chocolate lovers out there. As one among you, I adore this smoothie. I love this gorgeous reddish earthy hue, which tells you exactly what you’re about to taste: raspberry, followed by dark chocolate, enhanced with a pinch of salt. Because the avocado lends the smoothie a thick, creamy texture, you’ll want to grab a spoon. It’s not dessert for breakfast, but it’s close enough.

If you can’t find a bag of frozen raspberries, strawberries are a great substitute. Rich, caramel-like, and potassium-packed, Medjool dates are my favorite add-in for sweetness. Although they might be a little harder to keep on hand than honey or agave nectar, I can find them at Costco.

    I need recipes that don’t have banana in them as husband deathly allergic. We don’t even let them in our house.

      Oh I’m sorry to hear that. One idea is to replace one banana with 1/2-1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt in our smoothies. Also, here is a recipe that doesn’t include banana: https://thrivinghomeblog.com/green-machine-smoothie-freezer-pack-instructions/
