It is made with avocado and a whey/casein blend. The avocado gives a great smooth texture, and the whey/casein blend gives this frosting the thickness it needs to hold its shape. (If you make it with just whey protein, it will still be delicious but it will be more like pudding.)

And as long as your avocado is ripe, you won't taste the avocado at all!

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado ~1 cup, 150g
  • 1 scoop chocolate whey/casein blend 31g
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 12g
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar 24g

Instructions
 

  • Use a food processor to smooth the avocado.
  • Add remaining ingredients and process until fully combined.

Notes

A note about substitutions:
If you want to substitute whey protein, the consistency will be more like pudding than frosting.
If you want to substitute pea protein (or pea blends), start with only 15g pea protein and see how the flavor and texture are as you add more.
