This recipe doesn’t contain much in the way of Blants products (just a touch of our Himalayan pink salt). But it contains ingredients that are a natural source of magnesium, and we’re all about getting more magnesium. This is one of our family’s favourite healthy(ish) desserts, so we thought we’d share it with you.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium avocados
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- pinch of salt*
Instructions:
Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Spoon into 4** glasses and chill.
This is lovely served with raspberries.

** This recipe gives you 4 big shot glass type portions. But, in our family, two of us can polish this off quite rapidly! If you have more self-control than us, it should last a couple of days, covered, in the fridge.
– You can play around with this recipe to suit your tastes. Feel free to add more cocoa, or even some melted dark chocolate chips if you like it really chocolatey.
– Use any kind of milk. I’ve made this with cows, almond and soy. You could probably use coconut milk too. Feel free to increase the amount of milk for a smoother texture.
– You may like to start with less maple syrup and check the sweetness level first. If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use any sweetener, but if it’s a dry one like powdered stevia, you’ll have to increase the amount of milk you use to get the nice smooth, mouth feel.
– Avocados contain magnesium, as well as other nutrients and nourishing fats. The creaminess of the avocado, and the depth of the cocoa flavour makes this treat very satisfying.
* We use Blants Himalayan pink salt because it’s so tasty, as well as containing lots of lovely minerals.
We stock both fine and coarse, if you prefer to grind it freshly.
