Avocado Smoothie

Avocado smoothie is a real treat for a hot summery day! Well, it’s still a real treat for me in winter too. Avocado Juice will attract everyone who consumes it cos of its apparent taste and creaminess. I always serve this for my guests and no one has ever disliked it. Adding a scoop of vanilla ice-cream make it more creamy, but without it itself it tastes like ice cream.

The secret lies in the use of sugar and milk and the quantity of this fruit. Unfortunately, I don’t have the exact measurement for my perfect Avocado shake as I always don’t go by measurements.  Here I have given the approx measurement. You can alter as per your preference. I prefer my shake to be little thick and creamy and if you make this shake watery; the real taste of this shake will be lost. The important point to know while making this is that the fruit should be very ripe otherwise it will taste bitter.  So dont make this with those hard ones and complain that it was the worst juice you ever had . I usually wrap it in a newspaper for 2-3 days to make it ripe if i get only those hard avocados in the supermarket.

Ingredients:-

• Avocado Sliced- ½
• Milk -3/4 cup
• Vanilla Essence – 1/2 tsp (optional)
• Sugar – 1 big tablespoon or more as required

Method:-

• Spoon out avocado pulp and place in blender.
• Add fresh milk and sweet into the blender and blend it.
• Enjoy the creamy and rich Avocado Smoothie.

Note : For enhanced taste, you may add some honey and vanilla ice cream.
