Instructions

1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, peeled, seeded and cut into ¾-in. dice and frozen 1 1/2 ripe bananas, peeled, cut into ½-in. slices and frozen 3 Tbsp. agave nectar 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder 1 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil 2 tsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. vanilla extract Pinch salt

Remove the avocado and banana from the freezer and thaw slightly, about 20 minutes.
Place the avocado, banana, agave nectar, cocoa powder, coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract and salt in a blender and process for 60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue to process until smooth and creamy; the mixture should resemble soft serve ice cream.
Scoop the frosty into bowls and garnish with optional toppings.

Beverage Pairing: Enjoy with a chilled glass of non-fat or low-fat milk.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
