Transcript:Avocado Fruit Smoothie

Hi, I'm Rachel Edelman for About.com Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make an avocado smoothie.

Avocado Smoothie Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 1/3 cups of frozen strawberries
  • 1/3 c low fat milk
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Prepare the Avocados

First cut the avocados lengthwise all the way around. Twist the halves and remove the pit. With a large spoon, scoop the avocado out of its peel. Place it into a blender.

Mix the Smoothie Ingredients

Next, place the ice cream, the milk, and the strawberries into a blender too. Then, add the honey, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Turn on the blender, and blend until the mixture is smooth. You may need to mix it around a little with a spoon.

Serve the Avocado Smoothie

Now, pour the mixture into serving cup. Top with some whipped cream, an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, and a strawberry to serve.
