Avocado makes this smoothie incredibly smooth, almost like a thin cream. Basil gives it a fresh, peppery perfume, and oat milk adds a hint of sweetness.
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Velvety and mild, buttery avocado with fresh basil and soft oat sweetness.
Avocado is unusual among fruits because it is rich in fat rather than sugar, mostly monounsaturated fat, which gives smoothies a velvety texture. On its own it tastes mild and buttery, so it needs aromatic partners. Basil adds a fresh, slightly peppery note, and oat milk brings a natural, gentle sweetness.
The result is more savoury than a fruit smoothie and quite filling. A little honey or maple syrup can round it off. It suits breakfast or a light lunch.
Yes, without honey or with maple syrup instead.
Yes, but add more oat milk, otherwise it becomes very thick.
Not really: it browns and loses its fresh aroma within a few hours.
