Up until now I've prepared these only early in the day and it somewhat curbs my desire for sweets. I'm attempting to swap this in place of my morning coffee though it's proving difficult since I really enjoy coffee. Does anyone have tastier versions they could mention 😍 Banana a mix of berries like strawberry blueberry blackberry raspberry granola chia seeds milk and ice if the fruits aren't frozen already

I often whip these up once my shift ends or as the main dish on days when I want fewer calories. They end up loaded with healthy fats and give a bit of crunch from the cocoa bits plus the firm coconut cream, which fits what I enjoy. Eight ounces of almond milk, one to one and a half cups of chilled berries, a tablespoon of hemp hearts, two teaspoons of the coconut cream I freeze ahead into small cubes so portioning goes faster and the chew stays, a teaspoon of those cocoa pieces, a drop of stevia liquid, one scoop of chocolate protein powder, a pinch of dried ghost pepper, plus water poured in until it covers everything inside the blender.

Putting coconut into ice cubes seems like a really good plan to me.

My smoothie making takes place after dark. Contents shift based on whatever sits in the fridge, leading most often to either a plain fruit blend with eight to twelve ounces of soy milk tuned to the fruit amount, fifteen grams chia seeds, thirty grams peanut butter powder, one or two handfuls fruit either frozen or fresh, two scoops protein powder, one serving condensed milk, and ice cubes whenever the fruit is not already frozen. Or else an adjusted avocado style drawing from Vietnamese roots using four ounces soy milk, fifteen grams chia seeds, one avocado, one scoop protein powder, one serving condensed milk, and one or two handfuls ice. The fruit blend carries better macros yet avocado smoothies stay my favorite despite the higher calorie load.

Putting avocado or sweetened condensed milk into drinks never crossed my mind until now, but the idea comes across as really appealing! Plus it's a smart approach for finishing off those fruits I enjoy so much, except when a big batch all becomes ready at the same time… you can only have so many servings of mashed avocado or fruit on toast πŸ˜‚

In our Vietnamese background, blended avocado drinks tend to be quite favored, which means we finish up big packages of the fruit at a fast rate. A strawberry version exists in the same tradition, swapping in berries for the green fruit, and that one tastes excellent as well.

This was the first occasion i'd come across avocado outside its usual savory role. the mix turned out surprisingly effective. a thick smooth drink from that fruit gets blended together with dairy liquid sweetener and crushed ice then served in a cup coated inside first with chocolate sauce or sweetened thick milk. certain local spots add a touch of coffee or malt powder for extra flavor.

Yeah for sure tomorrow I'm picking up avocados along with condensed milk and chocolate syrup too.
