A sweet, thick, rich, warm shake. Yes, warm. At room temperature, a shake that doesn’t melt. The amazingly creamy texture of avocado is the perfect alternative to ice cream on these chilly fall days.
And it’s healthier too. You just have to get over the fact that it’s green. An easy solution? Add freshly squeezed lime juice and it will all make sense to your eyes and your taste buds as you scoop up a spoonful of Avocado Lime Shake.
But without a touch of spice, your tongue might sense something missing from this Avocado Lime Shake.
To balance the flavors of the avocado and lime, add a just a little bit of vanilla extract. A quarter teaspoon will do. Too much and the vanilla will overpower the shake.

I've seen avocado in smoothies before and I've been curious. The color of this shake is just so pretty! Pudding idea is nice too. :)
Another great use of the avocado! I LOVE the fact that it's a warm shake. Cold shakes give me that ice cream headache waaaaay too fast so I have to stay away them. It's not unusual to see me warming up a cold glass of milk in the microwave. So a warm, avocado vanilla lime shake is perfect! Thanks for this delicious idea!
Thanks Nami, I wasn't sure what to call this one - shake, smoothie, or pudding.
hmm I thought milk and lemon dont mix interesting one must try.
