Creamy Avocado Smoothie

The ultimate in creamy texture, dairy-free. The high fat content of avocado makes this drink as silky as a cream milkshake, while being full of 'good' fats and fibre. Honey and lemon ensure it doesn't taste like vegetables, but a refreshing, sweet dessert drink that also fits as breakfast.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Spoon

Instructions

1

Halve the avocado, remove the stone, and scoop the flesh into the blender with a spoon.

Tip: Use only soft, ripe avocado. If hard, it will remain chunky and tasteless.
2

Add the milk, honey, and lemon juice.

Tip: Lemon juice is needed not only for taste but prevents the avocado from turning an ugly brown colour (antioxidant).
3

Blend on high speed for 30-40 seconds until completely homogeneous and frothy.

Tip: Thorough blending 'emulsifies' the fat with the liquid, making it creamy.
4

Taste, sweeten more if needed, then pour into a glass.

Tip: Most refreshing consumed cold with ice.

Recipe FAQ

The leftovers turned brown. Is it drinkable?
Yes, it's just oxidation (like with apples). Slow it down with lemon juice, but it looks best fresh.
It turned out too thick.
Depends on the size of the avocado. Dilute further with milk or water to desired consistency.
