Here's a real quick and easy recipe for an icy cold avocado slushie that is sweet, creamy and refreshing. It's also a great way to use up any leftover avocados and makes a healthy and nutricious treat for the kids too. I managed to convince little J that it's ice-cream and he absolutely loves it!
Avocado Slushie
Ingredients
1 large avocado
3/4 cup cold fresh milk
3 tbsp caster sugar
About 1 cup ice cubes
Mint for garnish (optional)
Method
Cut the avocado in half and discard the seed. Scoop out the avocado flesh and place in a blender (or using a stick blender together with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth and pour into glasses. Garnish with mint and serve immediately.
Note: You can add a tiny drop of vanilla extract if desired, or stir through some crushed mint leaves, and perhaps consider a splash of Malibu rum too if you like!
Yummy! I love how simple this is. I think it would be really good with mint blended into it too, or just crushed and mixed in like you recommended :D Will have to try this when we have extra avocados.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy! Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteI have always been weary on "green smoothies" this though may have converted me into a believer!
ReplyDeleteI tried this today because a friend had avocados she needed to eat. I didn't have high hopes because I don't really like avocados. But man! This was really good! We added a lot of vanilla and a little bit more sugar to make it sweeter. And because we didn't have mint, we made mint tea to make up for it, haha.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed it too! Thanks!
