AVOCADO MILKSHAKE

13 April 2011


My uncle Tom called me the other day and said to come over to pick up a bag of avocados. I was like, uhh...YES! His friend has a bountiful avocado tree in his backyard so he's giving bags and bags of them away. It's perfect because I've been wanting to make avocado milkshakes. My dad used to whip it up for me when I was a kid. They're really easy to make and so delicious! It seriously only takes a few minutes.

Here are the ingredients you'll need to make two glasses of avocado milkshakes :

1 avocado
1 cup of ice
2 tablespoons of condensed milk (more if you like it sweeter)
1 cup of milk
a pinch of salt

Cut the avocado in half. Scoop it into the blender and toss all the ingredients into it and blend until smooth. And you're done! Yummm.

  10. Okay, first, those glasses? Awesome. Second, I wish avocado wasn't such a migraine trigger, because these look delish. I know, it's a total travesty, but at least I can still have chocolate! :)

  15. The Bear Cave's backyard has a massive avocado tree and we have way more avocados than we know what to do with! Guacamole for weeks! So 1.) I'm going to try this recipe immediately because it looks/sounds amazing, and 2.) you are welcome to take some of these avos off our hands if you want to come to the westside!

  20. @ Mina He sure is! And I tried looking for other recipes and I guess some squeeze a bit of lime, add mint, pear, or cinnamon like you said. I think you can pretty much add anything you like. It's just too good. Anyway, thanks!
