I love it when people share yummy healthy recipes that I’ve
never tried before with me. This one I just had to share with all of you.
A friend of mine, spying an avocado on my counter commented
that her 3-½ year old son loves avocados. I was a little surprised because it’s
not really a flavor most little ones have a palette for. I said, “Wow that’s a
pretty strong flavor for a little guy, I wouldn’t think he’d like that.”
She explained that her husband makes smoothies with them. Apparently
I had a questioning look on my face because she went on to explain he puts 1
part avocado, 1 part ice cream and just enough milk to make it smooth in a
blender.
Yeah, that was my thought too. Probably the same look on my
face that you now have on yours as well.
At first I dismissed the whole idea thinking it would just
be too disgusting to waste an avocado that way. But always the taste adventurer
I decided, why not?
Of course being a vegan I substituted soy-cream for ice
cream and vanilla flavored flax milk for cow’s milk.
I fully expected to report to you that it was a complete waste
of an avocado but guess what? It was pretty good. Didn’t really taste much
avocado, just sweet creamy soy-cream with just a hint of flavor of something
else. If I hadn’t put the avocado in myself I probably wouldn’t have been able
to tell you what that hint of flavor was, but it was quite yummy.
Moral of the story: brussel sprouts and soy-cream
smoothie next!
