Avocado and milk give this smoothie a texture close to a milkshake, and fresh mint makes it taste cool and clean. A spoonful of honey turns it almost into mint ice cream.
½

5 g
mint leaves about 15 leaves
6¾ oz
milk cold
1 tsp
honey to taste (optional)
Garnish: Mint sprig · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and cool, buttery avocado with a clear mint freshness.
Avocado is naturally rich in monounsaturated fat and has a mild, buttery flavour, which makes it an excellent base for creamy drinks. Blended with milk it becomes smooth and thick, and mint adds freshness. Milk contributes protein and calcium.
Without fruit the drink is only lightly sweet, so a teaspoon of honey is suggested as an option. Pale green and cooling, it suits a hot afternoon or a filling breakfast.
Only mildly; it mostly adds creaminess while the mint dominates.
Better not, the avocado turns brown.
Not with cow's milk; use a plant drink instead.
