Creamy and smooth, with gentle raisin sweetness and a warm ginger finish.
About this smoothie
Avocado is mild on its own, so it takes on other flavours easily. Here sultanas, which are dried white grapes, bring concentrated sweetness and fibre, while fresh ginger adds warmth. Avocado contributes monounsaturated fat and a velvety texture, and milk adds protein and calcium.
This smoothie is filling enough for breakfast or as a small meal. Soaking the sultanas in a little warm water for 10 minutes helps them blend completely, so the smoothie stays silky.
Bartender tips
Soaked sultanas blend much more smoothly than dry ones.
A frozen banana added to the blender makes it thicker and sweeter.
Variations
Vegan
Use oat or almond drink instead of milk.
Frequently asked questions
Is this smoothie vegan?
Not with cow milk; with a plant drink it is.
Can I use raisins instead of sultanas?
Yes, raisins taste a little darker and more intense but work just as well.
