In many countries folks eat avocados for dessert, in custards and in shakes like this one. The riper the avocado, the sweeter the shake, so you’ll want to adjust the sweetness to taste. If you have matcha (green tea powder) on hand, add some for a boost of antioxidants, nutrients and fiber.

Soo good! If you love avocados this recipe is for you. And it’s a healthier alternative to regular deserts
This shake is perfect. It brings back memories of having them back home in the Philippines during my childhood. It’s a little thicker than what I’m used to, but the ingredients are exact and the flavor is just right! Great dessert!
Best avocado smoothie recipe ever! Rich, creamy, perfectly sweetened!
Fantastic, easy and smooth.
I from Brazil and this is an old time favorite. It does take some getting used to for people who are used to having avocado with salty foods. If you are not very open to new experiences don’t even bother because you’ll hate it. I absolutely looveeee avocado smoothies. Its better to use the Florida Avocado, when really ripe, since it tends to be sweeter. Just keep in mind your proportions. If you put too much avocado and too little milk you’ll probably end up needing a spoon to drink this one!
