How to Make Avocado Shake
Note: Full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Scoop the avocado flesh into the blender, then add the remaining ingredients.
Blend until smooth. If needed, pulse a few times to help everything blend evenly.
Adjust the consistency with more milk if you prefer a thinner shake. Pour into a glass and serve cold. Enjoy!
Storage, Make Ahead, & Freezing
Storage: Pour any leftover shake into an airtight container or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before drinking, give it a good stir or shake to bring the ingredients back together, as natural separation may occur.
Make-Ahead: This Avocado Shake is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare it up to 24 hours in advance. Blend the ingredients as directed, transfer the shake to an airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, stir or shake well. If the shake has thickened or separated, simply add a splash of milk and blend again to restore its silky texture.
Freezing: Freezing is not recommended. Avocado-based shakes tend to separate and develop a gritty texture once thawed, so the best results come from enjoying the shake fresh or refrigerated only.
