 I
love avocados! Like most Americans, I have only used them in savory
dishes. An avocado shake sounded bizarre to me. In Asia and also Brazil,
avocado shakes are very popular. As avocados are a fruit and not a
vegetable, this combination makes perfect sense. The flavor is is subtle
and very addictive!
I
lightened up the recipe for less calories. It is so good! Give it a try
and see what you think.

Avocado Shake
1 ripe
avocado,
peeled and pitted*
2 cups ice (16 to 20 ice cubes)
1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/2 to 1 cup cold non-fat milk**
* The best avocados to use are those that gently
yield to pressure and are free from dark blotches inside the fruit.
** Depending on how large the avocado is and how
thick you want your shake.
Scoop
the avocado flesh into a blender. Add the ice cubes, condensed milk, the least
amount of non-fat milk; puree until completely smooth. Taste and add additional
milk if a thinner consistency is desired. NOTE: I like to
use the maximum amount of milk.
Pour into two (2) tall glasses and enjoy!
