Avocado - Banana Shake

mlok's Note:

My friend made this for me, I thought an avocado shake sounded pretty weird, but it is yummy - it has an amazing texture and is not too sweet. Also it is a lovely shade of green! Note: if you slice and freeze the banana first, you will have a colder and thicker shake. I prefer mine less cold, but I believe I am in the minority on that.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 avocado
• 1 banana (not too ripe or it overpowers the avocado)
• ½ cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 1 cup low-fat vanilla soymilk (try "vita-soy" or "so good")
• ice cubes or water or soymilk , to taste

Directions:

1. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and squeeze each half into the blender (faster than scooping it out!).
2. Add banana, yogurt, and 1 cup of soy milk.
3. Blend on medium or high.
4. If it is too thick (it probably will be) you can add water or ice, or more soy milk if you'd prefer a slightly sweeter drink.
5. Drink within 1/2 hour of blending, or the shake will discolor slightly (flavor will remain the same, it just looks less good.).

Delicious! I used a frozen banana and a few ice cubes. I skipped the yogurt, used almond milk and added some fresh blueberries. Stevia to sweeten a bit. What a great concept!
