Avocado Strawberry Smoothie

In my previous article - Avocado Smoothie, I suggested to use different types of extracts like Vanilla/ Coconut or Orange to enhance the flavor of the smoothie. However, I later discovered that berries are the only fruits allowed on Keto diet (again not to be consumed in a huge quantity), and I thought perhaps it will be better to add them in the smoothie. Suffice it to say that by doing so I not only satisfy my craving to consume fruit on a regular basis but also, the smoothie tastes delicious without adding any extracts. So let me present to you the recipe of: Avocado Strawberry smoothie. If you don’t like adding different types of extracts in your smoothie or don’t prefer to buy extracts at all then try this recipe. Since the avocados are dull on flavor, the strawberries give it a punch and color thus making it my favorite kind of recipe.

Ingredients:

• Avocado – ½ ripe, halved and pitted
• Whole Milk – 1 cup
• Yogurt – ½ cup
• Strawberries – 3-4, big, hulled

Now what does Pitted means:

• Pitted means to remove the seed. Avocado has a big seed and we can remove it by cutting the fruit in half lengthwise. Use a sharp chef's knife and slice through the avocado until you feel the knife hit the seed. Scoop out using a spoon.

And what is the meaning of Hulled?

• The green leafy top of the strawberry is called Hull. It is generally removed before cooking or serving. Since we will be using the strawberries in the smoothie we can cut them in small pieces to remove the hull.

Directions:

• Combine the Avocado, Whole Milk, Yogurt with the Strawberries and blend until smooth. If using Nutri Bullet use the extractor blade.
• The mixture will be thick but pourable. Taste and add some Stevia if you want it sweeter. 
• Serve in chilled glasses with straws.

Tips:

• If you are not on Keto diet, try the smoothie with a tablespoon of Honey. 
• If you like adding extracts then read my article - Avocado Smoothie.
• Always remember to wash the fruits before consuming.
