Ingredients for Avocado Smoothie

  • 1 ripe avocado, chilled
  • Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

How to Make Avocado Smoothie

  1. Chill one ripe avocado in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Combine the chilled avocado, 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste), and a pinch of salt in a blender.
  3. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional sugar if desired.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture. While it can be stored in the refrigerator, it may brown slightly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
