Ingredients
- 1/2 large avocado
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
- 3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice to taste
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
Instructions
- To make different flavors, including a chocolate avocado smoothie, see the notes earlier in this post.Peel the avocado and discard the pit. Blend all ingredients until completely smooth. Feel free to blend in a few coconut milk ice cubes for a super thick and ice-cream-like shake if desired. (To make coconut ice cubes, just freeze canned coconut milk in an ice cube tray. Do not add regular ice cubes, because that would dilute the flavor of the smoothie.) Serve cold. Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days. The recipe makes about 2 cups.View Nutrition Facts
