About this Recipe
Avocado is a delicious and versatile fruit that also happens to be incredibly healthy. This buttery fruit is full of good-for-you monounsaturated fats, but with zero cholesterol. Plus, they are an excellent vegan source of potassium, vitamin K, vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin E. Avocados are perfect for using to make creamy and filling milkshakes as their flesh tends to be rich and buttery. With just a few additional ingredients you can create a satisfying and absolutely scrumptious drink that’s great to enjoy nearly any time of day. Make one for breakfast to kick off your day with a nutritious boost, or for a hearty afternoon snack. You can even enjoy avocado shake for a sweet and healthier dessert. Along with this avocado shake recipe, you can use avocados to make homemade Guacamole, which is perfect for this Guacamole Sandwich recipe. Plain avocado is also yummy for smearing on bread or toast as a healthy replacement for regular dairy-based butter. Or get fancy and try Avocado Toast with a garlic bread twist. If you love salads, then make this creamy Avocado Salad.
Tips for Working with Avocado
Make sure that your avocado is completely ripe before using. Unripe avocados tend to have a bitter taste.You need to cut the avocado in two parts by slicing fully around the pit.Don’t cut it length wise. The avocado should be sliced from top of the stem to bottom.After cutting, gently twist and pull apart the two pieces of avocado in opposite directions. Carefully remove the big seed with a spoon or knife.
How to Make Avocado Shake
A tasty, healthy, and terrifically refreshing avocado shake only takes a few minutes to make at home. Follow these simple steps to whip up a batch for breakfast or an afternoon snack:
- First, set out a high speed blender. Slice and scoop the avocado flesh (from 1 medium to large avocado) into the blender base. Add 1 cup almond milk.
- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup or raw sugar (depending on desired sweetness), 1 teaspoon dried moringa or ½ teaspoon ground moringa (optional) and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract . TIP 1: Other optional add-ins are 1 tablespoon of cacao nibs or 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. TIP 2: You can include any sweetener of your choice – coconut sugar, palm sugar or jaggery. I like to add maple syrup as it complements the creaminess and flavor of avocado giving the shake a nutty taste.
- Blend on medium speed for a minute or two, until completely blended. If you prefer a flowing thin consistency, add more almond milk.
- Pour the avocado shake in glasses and enjoy immediately. Please be sure to rate the recipe in the recipe card or leave a comment below if you have made it.
