Avocado Milk Shake

This one is dedicated to my good friend Mimi who also happens to enjoy a good avocado shake.



I discovered avocado milk shakes at some point in H.S. My sister dated a Vietnamese guy named Do for many years. Do was the sweetest, treated me like his sister, and he made avocado shakes for me, in addition to sushi (he was a sushi chef), and amazing Vietnamese dishes. It's a fairly straightforward and simple recipe, one that I've altered from Do's original (he used sweetened condensed milk, which is just too sweet for me.)

Blend one ripe avocado with milk, ice, and honey. I don't measure anything, I kind of just eyeball it for a thick consistency that is drinkable and aim for a sweetness that I favor. It's the perfect dessert, breakfast, skip a meal kind of drink- very filling, creamy, smooth, and perfectly yummy.
