Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- For a dairy-free version, use unsweetened soy milk and sweetened condensed coconut milk instead of the low-fat milk and condensed milk.
- Use frozen avocado chunks in place of the ice cubes for a thicker, colder shake that tastes less diluted.
- For less added sugar, replace the condensed milk with 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or a soft pitted date blended in.
- If you don't have condensed milk, use a little sugar plus a splash of evaporated milk for a similar creamy sweetness.
Storage
This smoothie is best enjoyed right away, because the avocado browns and the texture turns watery as the ice melts. If you must keep some, cover it tightly, refrigerate within 2 hours and drink it within a day, stirring or re-blending first.
Make ahead
Cube ripe avocado, toss it with a squeeze of lime or lemon, and freeze it in a sealed bag for up to about 3 months, then blend it straight from frozen with the milk and condensed milk.
