Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe avocado (about 7 ounces of flesh)
- 1 1/2 cups cold unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons allulose or to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 or 5 ice cubes
Instructions
- Scoop the avocado flesh into a blender.
- Add the almond milk, cream, allulose, lime juice, vanilla and ice.
- Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until completely smooth and thick.
- Taste and add a little more allulose or lime if needed. Pour into glasses and serve right away.
Notes
Use an avocado that gives to gentle pressure but is not stringy or brown inside. The lime brightens the flavor and slows browning, but the smoothie is still best drunk fresh. For a thicker, spoonable version, cut the almond milk by half.
Chef's Tip: Freeze avocado chunks in advance and use them in place of the ice for an extra-thick, milkshake-style vitamina.
Keto Swap: Brazilian vitaminas are usually made with whole milk and a few spoonfuls of sugar. Unsweetened almond milk, a little cream and allulose keep all the creaminess with only a few grams of net carbs.
Success Tip: Add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate version that kids will not believe is made with avocado.
