Ingredients
  

  • 1 large avocado peeled and pitted
  • 2 cups cashew milk or almond milk
  • 4-6 tablespoon Maple Syrup (or your choice of sweetener)
  • A pinch of cardamom powder (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted, 2 cups cashew milk or almond milk, 4-6 tablespoon Maple Syrup, a pinch of cardamom powder, and a handful of ice cubes to the blender. Blend until everything is well combined and completely smooth.
  • Serve the avocado shake cold.
  • An Avocado shake is best served immediately. If we keep it longer, the avocado will brown and the shake will no longer taste fresh and pleasant.

Notes

  1. Avocado: For the creamiest texture and best flavor, use a ripe avocado that yields to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that feel overly soft, have a strong smell, or have brown spots.
  2. Cold Ingredients: For a cool, refreshing smoothie, use cold milk or add a few ice cubes while blending everything.
  3. Consistency: For a thicker shake, add more avocado or reduce the milk. For a thinner, more sippable texture, add a splash of extra milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Sweetness: Avocados vary in flavor and richness, so always taste before serving. Add more sweetener if needed, especially if you add cocoa or frozen fruit, which may slightly reduce sweetness.
  5. Vanilla: If you prefer vanilla-flavored shakes, skip the cardamom powder and add one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract instead.
  6. Serving: Because avocados brown very quickly, serve this shake immediately and cold.
