I attempted to make an avocado milkshake like the one in this photo (we had this at Golden Turtle). This was my method…
- Using my Magic Bullet, I crushed 6 ice cubes.
- Then I scooped out the meat of one ripe avocado and added it to the Magic Bullet.
- I added 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk.
- Blend everything together and voila!
The result – I found it a little sweet. So next time I will reduce the condensed milk, or add more ice, or add regular milk. Or maybe, eliminate the condensed milk altogether and just use ice and perhaps honey?
Also, I found the Magic Bullet wasn’t very powerful in crushing the ice. So I would recommend a regular blender for this purpose.
Any tips on making a better milkshake is much appreciated!

I love avocado smoothies (milk shakes). The way I make it is buy using a plain Danon non-fat yogurt. You could use the vanilla flavored one if you like. I prefer the plain because it only has three or four ingredients.
This is how I make it:
1/2 cup of non-fat plain yogurt
1/2 of organic orange juice
1 ripe avocado – scoop out the meat – no skin or seed
7 or 8 large FROZEN strawberries
A big hand full of FROZEN blueberries
Blend in a blender until you have a consistent funnel and can see the blades of the blender.
Notice I don’t use ice! That is why it is very important that the berries are frozen. They act as your ice!
This will usually make two TALL glasses of smoothie.
Enjoy!

You should try the durian. I know – but give it a try!

I may have tried it before… Or was it the jackfruit that I tried…
