Mexican avocado smoothie: Licuado de aguacate

Karen Hursh Graber

This is a basic recipe for a Mexican avocado smoothie. Feel free to add banana, strawberries, or even apple, and to substitute soy milk for regular milk. It’s a great way to start the day with the generous dose of vitamins contained in avocados, the calcium in the milk and the probiotics in the yogurt.

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1 ripe avocado
• ½ cup plain yogurt
• 2-3 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
• Ice if desired

Place all ingredients in a blender and liquefy until smooth. Serve in tall glasses. Makes 2 generous servings.
