Avocado Juice

Tooooo simple.
Indonesian who read this post will be like, 'What? Just avocado juice and you need to post it in a blog??'.
Ha ha... Why not?
It is because of how simple it is, I want to share it. In most part of the world, avocado has consumed as savoury food. Some people even confuse it whether it is vegetable or fruit.
However, in Indonesia, when we think avocado, most of us probably think about juice, or other beverages. It usually consumed as a sweet drink, with addition of some sugar, syrups or condensed milk(which of course lots of sugar in it).

The avocado juice is usually just a juiced or blended avocado with some water or milk, simple syrup or sugar and ice, pour in a tall glass. Then we add condensed chocolate milk just a bit. It's smooth and creamy, and just... nom nom!

Simple.

However, I think it involve toooo much sugar in it. I want something healthier, so I simply substitute sugar/syrup to honey. I also dilute unsweetened drinking cocoa with a little hot water to substitute the condensed chocolate milk. My kids love it, and I can drink with them, no worries :)

The fun of this avocado juice is, you can have that simple juice with or without chocolate taste. Then, if you substitute honey to banana, you will have a smoothie. Then, after become smoothie, you can freeze the into ice cream! As a matter of fact, at this moment I got my smoothie in the freezer as my first attempt to make ice cream from it!

Anyway, here is the simple avocado juice :)

Avocado Juice

Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado, scoop the flesh out
1 tbsp honey
2-3 ice cubes
water or milk
1 tsp unsweetened drinking cocoa
1 tbsp hot water


Directions:
- Blend ice cubes, avocado flesh, honey until all crush.
- Start to add water or milk little by little until you got the density that you prefer. If it's very liquid it will be like juice. If you keep it a little dense it will be like smoothie (my preference).
- Pour in a tall glass.
- Dilute the cocoa with hot water until smooth. Drizzle it on the avocado juice. Add a straw and enjoy.
- Optionally, you can omit the honey and switch to one banana.
- Optionally again, you can freeze it into ice cream like this lovely blog I found: thriftydecorchick.
- Simply enjoy! :)
