5-Ingredient Brain Boosting Avocado Coconut Milk Shake

Print
Avocado Smoothie with Coconut Milk and Dates

By

Inspiration for this came from my love of Asian food. I used to love getting an avocado shake to eat with crispy rolls at the Vietnamese restaurants, but I don’t fare so well with the condensed milk…so I made my own version using bananas and dates for sweetness, and coconut milk to provide brain boosting lauric acid.

Further Food Commentary:

I’m a sucker for any recipe with only 5 ingredients! And as an added bonus there is no added sugar here! The good fat from the avocado protects your heart and the lauric acid in the coconut is antibacterial and anti-microbial, therefore may prevent you from getting sick! This smoothie won’t bother your belly if you can’t tolerate lactose and it will keep you full thanks to all that fat and fiber! Drink up!
