Healthier Avocado Smoothie

Submitted by paagiela

"I grew up eating the avocado mixed with sweetened condensed milk recipe as a dessert. As an adult, I thoroughly enjoy getting the avocado smoothies with tapioca at the Vietnamese restaurants, which I think they still use sweetened condensed milk in it. So when I found this recipe in an issue of Disney Family Fun magazine, I was excited to try it. It came out perfect and definitely healthier."

directions

1. Put all ingredients into a blender.
