Avocado makes this smoothie thick and velvety, fresh ginger gives it a warming, lively heat. A teaspoon of honey rounds off the flavours.
1
avocado ripe, flesh only
5 g
ginger peeled, about 2 cm
1 tbsp
natural yogurt
5 oz
milk cold
1 tsp
honey to taste (optional)
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mild with a buttery avocado body and a warming, peppery ginger finish.
Ginger is used in drinks around the world, from ginger beer to Indian lassi variations, and brings a fresh, pungent heat. Here it contrasts with the mild, buttery avocado, which provides the creamy base together with milk and yoghurt. Avocado contains mainly monounsaturated fats and makes the drink quite filling. Because the fruit itself is not sweet, a little honey helps. It works as a savoury leaning breakfast or a snack.
With 5 g ginger it is pleasantly warming but not hot. Adjust to your taste.
Yes, use soy drink, soy yoghurt and agave syrup instead of honey.
Fresh ginger tastes much better, but a small pinch of ground ginger works in a pinch.
