Avocado and Chocolate Shake

While browsing the net for new shake receipes, I found this avocado and chocolate shake receipe from www.eatingasia.typepad.com. I tweaked it a bit to make it a little healthier so we can enjoy it without the extra calories... well almost =)

Ingredients:
Flesh of one medium to big avocado
2-3 teaspoons honey
1 cup milk (whole or low-fat, or a mixture - but whole is really best)
1 cup crushed ice
3 tablespoons chocolate ice cream or use chocolate powder, you can also use melted chocolate bars (Dark Hershey's chocolate bar was the best!)

Steps:
1. Place avocado flesh, milk, honey, and crushed ice in a blender. Blend for 4-5 minutes are until smooth and frothy.
2. To make the chocolate topping, combine ice cream and about 1/4 cup milk in a blender and blend until ice cream is liquified.
2. Pour the avocado shake into a tall glass - add the chocolate topping, and swirl it into the drink.
