Avocados are my favorite fruit. I eat them in sandwiches, salads, dip, and salsa. I sneak them in whenever I can into every meal. They’re full of Vitamin E and can help prevent diseases! Avocados also help lower your cholesterol. So yes, eat those suckers up!
I know what you’re thinking. Avocado… as a smoothie?!? YUCK! That’s what I thought, too.. until my pops made me one and forced me to drink it. Ever since then, I’ve been drinking them non-stop. You’d be surprised at how good they actually are. It scares people away at first, but once you muster up the confidence to try it, you’ll be hooked (assuming you like avocados in the first place).
This is a pretty rough recipe since I don’t really measure and just add more of whatever I think is necessary until I get what I want. Feel free to do the same, using this as a general guideline!

Yum! That looks good! I’ve been wanting to try avocado in my smoothies. I’ve been on a green smoothie kick for my breakfasts lately. I actually just posted a “Green Smoothie” recipe to my blog the other week. Mine has kale, spinach pear in it!
Here’s my “Green Smoothie” link:

I had a avocado smoothie once at an Vietnamese restaurant. I was super scared to try it but it turned out to not be too bad!
Yay! This is so wonderful and lovely! I adore your blog too, btw.

Yum!! My mom made these all the time when I was younger! We use brown sugar though…just as good and maybe a little healthier than both sugar and condensed milk 🙂
I just tried this smoothie today, I had never tried one in my life (but I had been curious) They’re pretty good! I’m glad I saw this post to encourage me to try it haha
Ohhhh, thank you, THANK YOU for this! I love avocado smoothies. <3
Tried this out today and it was so good 🙂 thanks.
Hey Kim! I was going to feature this recipe on my blog, but I really don’t feel like going to buy condensed milk. Think I’ll survive without it?
The challenge posts on June 7th so it’s a while away. Please get back to me soon! <3
