Recently, milkshakes have taken over my family. Therefore, I am experimenting with quite a lot of flavors. However, this avocado shake is the best so far.

Even though its color is green my daughter gets excited every time I blend it. I love the fact that no pre-planning is required.

So, whenever I want to use up those ripe avocadoes from my refrigerator, I simply blend this vegan avocado milkshake.

My other milkshakes like banana milkshake and peanut butter milkshake are also quite popular. You must try them along with this new milkshake recipe.

The best part is that the whipped cream in this recipe is optional so you may enjoy it as an avocado smoothie also. It will still taste as delicious as ever.

I also enjoy my turmeric ginger lemonade in summer.

    Sneaking in avocados into recipes is such a great idea. Really boosts nutrition. Makes things nice and creamy too.
