Avocado Smoothie

1

Avocado is a berry!!  Yeah, really!!  So if you are skeptical about a green smoothie, just embrace it like you would a berry smoothie.

Just like everyone else, I too take part in the Avocado craze.  I love avocado as breakfast (on toast), lunch (in my sandwich), dinner (in my salad), as well as a party favorite, guacamole.  And now, I love it in my smoothie.

I used to make another version of this smoothie, it involved ice cream and honey.  As much as I loved my version, I have to say that the Food Network version is kinda better!  The condensed milk makes it really really creamy.  Since I’ve discovered this recipe, I’ve had it for breakfast 4 days in a row 🙂  Seriously, give it a whirl!

Instructions:

  • Add the condensed milk, milk and ice in a blender and process until smooth.
