SWEET ASIAN AVOCADO SMOOTHIE



SWEET ASIAN AVOCADO SMOOTHIE image

Categories     Sauce     Breakfast     No-Cook     Yogurt

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
2 cups milk
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoon honey
16 ice cubes

Steps:

  • Combine the avocado, milk, yogurt, honey, and ice cubes in a blender; blend until smooth.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown or black spots.
  • Properly ripen avocados: If your avocados are not ripe, you can ripen them at home by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana. The ethylene gas released by the apple or banana will help to speed up the ripening process.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients when making avocado recipes. Avocados can be paired with a variety of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains.
  • Don't overcook avocados: Avocados are best when they are slightly undercooked. Overcooking can make them mushy and bland.
  • Serve avocados immediately: Avocados are best when they are served immediately after they are made. Avocados can quickly brown when exposed to air, so it is important to serve them as soon as possible.

Conclusion:

Avocados are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of recipes. From salads to sandwiches to smoothies, there are endless possibilities when it comes to avocado recipes. With their creamy texture and rich flavor, avocados are a great way to add healthy fats and nutrients to your diet. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack or meal, reach for an avocado!
