Pro Tip

Add half a frozen avocado instead of ice for an incredibly thick, creamy texture and an extra dose of healthy fats. You won't taste the avocado at all — the cocoa completely masks it.

Health Benefits

This isn’t a guilty pleasure — it’s a nutrient-dense drink designed to fuel your brain and body with healthy fats and antioxidants.

Cocoa Powder

One of nature’s richest sources of flavonoids for heart health and circulation
Contains magnesium, iron, and zinc — minerals many people are deficient in
Theobromine provides a gentle, sustained mood and energy boost

Avocado

Provides creamy texture and healthy monounsaturated fats
Rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamins E and K
Supports hormone production and nutrient absorption

Coconut Milk / Heavy Cream

MCTs in coconut milk are rapidly converted to ketones for brain fuel
Healthy fats keep you full and satisfied for hours
Creates the thick, milkshake-like texture without sugar

Serving Suggestions & Storage

How to Serve

Pour into a chilled glass and top with a sprinkle of cacao nibs and unsweetened coconut flakes. For an extra indulgent version, add a tablespoon of almond butter before blending.

How to Store

Best enjoyed immediately for the thickest texture. Can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours — re-blend before drinking as the fats and cocoa will separate.
