- 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.
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.

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.
