Chocolate Keto Smoothie with Cashews

Pour the cashews into a bowl, cover them with boiling water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes. This step is key, as it softens the nuts, creating a perfectly creamy texture in the blender without any unpleasant small particles.

Drain the soaked cashews through a fine sieve and rinse them under cold running water.

Place the drained cashews, the flesh of a ripe avocado, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, powdered erythritol and vanilla extract into the blender container.

Pour unsweetened almond milk over all the ingredients.

Cover the blender and blend the contents on the highest speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, until you get a perfectly silky, thick and homogeneous texture.

If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk; if you want an extremely chilled drink, stir in a few ice cubes into the blender and blend briefly again.
