I love avocados! Like most Americans, I had only used them in savory
dishes, and 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 creaminess
of the avocado blends so perfectly with the sweetened condensed milk in this
recipe. The flavor is is subtle
and very addictive!
The fun thing about this recipe - no ice cream. Imagine, a milkshake with
avocados and no ice cream. I lightened up the recipe for less calories.
It is so good - I’m not exaggerating when I say that it tastes super good!

Scoop the avocado flesh into a blender. Add the ice cubes, condensed milk, the least
