Avocado Shake
If you’re a fan of avocados and love a good smoothie, then you’re in for a treat. This Avocado Shake is perfect for breakfast, snack time, or any time of the day really.
PinI was kind of shocked when I discovered that in Brazil and other South American countries, avocados are used primarily in sweet dishes like ice cream and dessert mousses. In America, I feel like we’re much more accustomed to them popping up in savory dishes like guacamole or sliced on a sandwich or salad. I was super inspired to work avocados into something sweet and came up with this simple to make avocado shake!
PinAvocado Shake Ingredients
- Ripe avocado: Avocados are so good for you! They’re rich in nutrients such as fiber, potassium, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin B6. Plus, the fiber and healthy fats in avocados can help you feel full and satisfied and not to mention are great for your hair and skin!
- Ripe banana: The banana in this is not only good for you, but provides a bit of natural (and delicious) sweetness for this shake.
- Milk of choice: Gotta have milk for a shake! Duh! You can use any milk you prefer: cow’s milk, almond, oat or rice milk work great!
- Ice: This ingredient thickens up the shake a bit and gives it that thick milkshake texture. You can leave it out if you want it to be thinner, or if you add frozen banana you can skip the ice.
- Honey: A little more natural sweetness from some honey takes this shake to the next level of deliciousness!
