AVOCADO SMOOTHIE*



When I was in Brazil I used to love this drink - Very popular & tasty, but it's also a great source of vitamins, fiber, potassium and good for you fats!
Enjoy it!

This drink has to be tasted to be believed. Not only is it rich and creamy — and our tasters loved the flavor.
Did you know? Avocados are commonly used in drinks and desserts — including ice cream! — throughout Asia and South America.

  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (you can also make it without the vanilla)
Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine all ingredients, then blend until smooth. Makes 3 servings.
