One of G's favorite comfort foods is the popular pairing of guacamole and chips but he has never heard of, much less tried, avocado milkshakes. Not suprising as although avocados are widely used here in California, these buttery fruits are more commonly applied in savory dishes such as sandwiches and salads than the sweet preparations like ice creams and desserts which we are more familiar with in the Philippines. So, while G mashed up his share of the avocados we bought today into a dip, I blended mine into a luscious, decadent drink. My avocado smoothie was thick and rich but you can certainly modify amounts~more milk, less avocado, more sugar, less ice~to meet your liking. The spritz of lemon juice is to retard browning and to brighten flavors. Enjoy!

    Some people are just plain stupid. Tripping just to say they are eating healthy living in a country which most foods are with GMO really caught their mindset into something so little. Use whatever milk you want to use. This is a filipino style recipe.

      Hi Bethany

      Lemon will do just fine, I just added a bit of acid to retard the browning of the avocado. Enjoy!

    Why is the world would you use EM and not something like Soy or Almond or even a can of coconut milk?? Have you seen the Nutritional Information?

      Hi Lisa

      This is a website for traditional Filipino recipes and traditionally, we use evaporated milk to make our ice pops and milkshakes. All the recipes here are based on my personal preference so please, feel free to substitute soy or almond milk as you like in making these avocado smoothies. Thanks.

      Dude. Calm down. No one needs you do preach nutritional facts. Substitutions are a thing that regularly happen and are, more often than not, genuinely welcomed. You don't need to criticize someone's recipe when you can very easily make your substitutions.

      Side note to Lalaine: I've always made my avocado milkshakes with regular 2% milk and today I tried it with evaporated milk and man, I'm never going back. It was delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
