The Moroccan avocado milkshake is a creamy, nutritious avocado smoothie traditionally mixed with milk, avocado, and sugar. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very common beverage in Morocco, especially during the month of Ramadan<\/a> when juice and shake blends of all kinds might be served when breaking the fast. <\/p>\n

During other times of the year, Moroccans might offer an avocado milkshake to family or guests as a refreshment alongside nuts, dates, and dried fruit. You\u2019ll also find it available at restaurants, snack shops, bakeries, and juice stalls. <\/p>\n

Avocado Shakes Are Healthy and Delicious<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re only familiar with using avocados in salads or dips, you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised by the smooth texture and delicious flavor of an avocado shake. Even people who don\u2019t normally like avocados on their own tend to enjoy this smoothie.<\/p>\n

\"Half\"Half<\/figure>\n

Avocado milkshakes are also healthy and nutritious, as avocados are packed with fiber, potassium, and monounsaturated fatty acids. <\/p>\n

In addition, avocados can help lower cholesterol, and they\u2019re a good source of vitamins E, C, B6 and K. <\/p>\n

Tips and Variations<\/span><\/h2>\n

For extra health benefits as well as texture and flavor, dried fruits such as dates or figs are sometimes blended into Moroccan avocado smoothies. <\/p>\n

And although it\u2019s not as popular in Morocco, fruits such as bananas, apples, or mangos can also be added. Or, consider blending in a tiny bit of vanilla to complement the drink\u2019s creamy flavor.<\/p>\n

Make sure you select fresh, ripe avocados for your milkshake. I find that ripe avocados that are a bit too soft to use in salad give the best flavor.<\/p>\n

Avoid avocados that are too hard or over ripe. Both can give an unpleasant flavor to the shake.<\/p>\n

How big and ripe your avocado is will determine how much milk and sugar you add. For a medium avocado, plan to use approximately 2 cups or more of milk or non-dairy substitute such as almond milk.<\/p>\n

The recipe reflects the fact that many Moroccans tend to prefer their beverages on the sweet side. I recommend sweetening to taste, adding the sugar or honey in small increments.<\/p>\n

Allow time for chilling, or blend in a few ice cubes for immediate serving.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
What do avocados taste like?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

It depends on your palate. Some people describe avocados as having a mild nutty and buttery flavor. Others say that they have a bit of an eggy or grassy flavor. Ripe avocados tend to have a slightly sweet aroma.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

How do you know when an avocado is ripe?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Ripe avocados will yield slightly to gentle pressure. However, they shouldn\u2019t feel soft or mushy. If your avocados are quite hard, you can speed up their ripening by placing them in a paper bag along with a banana or apple for a day or two.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

What milk is best to use for an avocado milkshake?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Whole milk will give the richest, creamiest flavor, but you can use any dairy or non-dairy milk to make an avocado shake or smoothie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

How do you open or peel an avocado?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

To open an avocado, cut around the circumference of the avocado lengthwise, making sure that your knife reaches the pit. Twist or pull the halves apart. Remove the pit, then use a spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh or pulp from the skin.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
