This smoothie is rich in belly-slimming monounsaturated fat; each serving has 17 grams of fat, mostly healthy fat from the avocado. Plus it gets an antioxidant boost (and chocolate flavor) from unsweetened cocoa powder. In fact, cocoa powder rounds out the top-20 list of the highest antioxidant-containing foods. Serves 2 (1 cup each)
Combine ½ cup of the coconut milk with the avocado in a blender and blend until smooth.
Add the remaining 1 cup coconut milk, the cocoa powder, and agave nectar and blend again, until smooth.
Divide between 2 glasses and serve.
