Brazilian Avocado Smoothie
This 4-ingredient Brazilian avocado smoothie is a fun and vitamin-packed breakfast or snack. Brazilians have a unique way of using avocados due to the sweet and large variety available in the country. Avocado is often consumed as dessert, in ice creams, or in smoothies.
Growing up, I enjoyed this creamy avocado smoothie for breakfast, which was a perfect energy booster. While it may seem strange to mix avocado with milk and sugar for some cultures, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the taste of this Brazilian drink. Avocado may not be a Brazilian fruit, but it holds a special place in our cuisine, especially in avocado smoothies.
Ingredients:
- 2 avocados
- 2 cups whole milk, chilled
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
Instructions:
- Slice the avocado down the center lengthwise around the seed.
- Remove the seed and scoop out the green flesh into a blender.
- Add all other ingredients to the blender and mix until smooth.
- Serve immediately.
Enjoy this refreshing Brazilian avocado smoothie!
Note: Replace sugar with honey for a healthier option. You can also use skim milk or low-fat vegetable milk like almond milk.
