Low carb chocolate peanut butter and avocado shake

This low carb creamy chocolate shake gets its creaminess from avocado.  Who knew you could mix avocado with chocolate?  Its so good, you can't taste the avocado, it just enhances the rich chocolate taste.  I used to mix a banana in my shakes to get the creaminess but since going low carb I have given up bananas, and have been missing it in my protein shakes, they just were not tasting the same.  Only 7.3 net carbs for a huge chocolate shake.  Half of an haas avocado only has 1.3 net carbs according to the Atkins website.  Even with the low carb count of the avocado I have read that eating them on low carb diets can stall some peoples weight loss results.  So far for me they have not caused any problem with weight loss, but I do not eat them everyday.
Ingredients:
1 Scoop GNC Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 Original Chocolate-2 Carbs
1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter-3 Carbs
1 Cup unsweetened almond milk-1Carb
1/2 haas avocado-1.3 carbs
7.3 Carbs for a very satisfying protein packed chocolate shake.  Depending on brands you buy carb count could be different.
