Healthy Avocado Chocolate Ice Cream

Frozen Chocolate Ice Cream

One thing I LOVE about owning a Vitamix is that I can make healthy desserts for friends and family.  No artificial preservatives, no unnatural ingredients, just fresh healthy whole foods. 

I first made this dessert last weekend.  We had some friends over and I wanted to try something new.  Avocados are extremely healthy and contain in excess 25 essential nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, phosporus, iron, copper, vitamins A, B, C, E, and K.  They also contain fiber, protein, and many other important nutrients that help protect against a number of diseases and illnesses.

This is one fruit that would do your body good to eat one once a day.  You can throw them in salads, on top of sandwiches, make guacamole and make dessert.  Here is the easiest and most delicious chocolate avocado ice cream you can make.  I would really recommend getting a Vitamix if you don't already own one as it really makes this ice cream silky smooth.  This makes 2-3 servings.

Avocado Chocolate Ice Cream with Vitamix

1/2 cup milk (any kind)
2 frozen avocados
1 frozen banana
1 tsp vanilla 
2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa
2-4 Tbs sugar or organic raw agave (add sugar to taste)
2 Tbs coffee, regular or decaf (optional)

Blend until four peaks form, about 1 minute.  Or use frozen dessert setting on your Vitamix.  Enjoy!

Put everything in the blender

This is what it looks like when 4 peaks are formed
