Chocolate avocado smoothie FAQ:
Yes, you can substitute the eggs with 1/2 cup of silken tofu or 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt for a creamier texture. Alternatively, you can omit the eggs entirely if you prefer a vegan option, but this will reduce the protein content.
It's best to consume the smoothie immediately for optimal flavor and freshness. However, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Note that it may separate, so give it a good stir before drinking.
You can replace almond milk with any plant-based milk like soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Dairy milk is also a suitable substitute if you're not lactose intolerant.
Blend the smoothie for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining. You can adjust the blending time based on your blender's power.
Yes, you can omit raspberries or replace them with another berry like strawberries or blueberries. Alternatively, you can use spinach or kale for a nutrient boost, though this will change the flavor profile.
Tips:
