How To Make Avocado Smoothie Recipe?
Choose frozen fruit while making an avocado smoothie. Freeze the fruit first. After that, add the milk or yogurt and the sweetener.
For the Vegan Avocado Smoothie Recipe, use peanut butter instead of yogurt. Use plant-based milk as well (almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk). Also, instead of honey, use maple syrup, agave syrup, or stevia as a sweetener.
For the Keto Avocado Smoothie Recipe, use coconut milk and a keto sweetener instead of caloric foods like bananas, yogurt, or honey.
How To Prevent Avocados From Browning?
Avocados become brown when chopped because of the enzymes they contain. The fleshly section of the fruit oxidizes and turns black when exposed to air. So, what can be done to avoid this?
To prevent the avocados from browning, boil them. Boil a full avocado for 10 seconds in boiling water. After that, place it in an ice bath.
To keep the fleshly section of the avocado from browning after cutting, squeeze fresh lemon juice on it. Wrap it in cling film after that. The acid in the citrus and the cling film will cause the avocados to discolor later.
How To Store Avocado Smoothies?
How Long Does an Avocado Smoothie Last in the Refrigerator? It's better to drink this smoothie right away after making it. It can, however, be kept in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months in an ice cube tray. You may extend the shelf life of your smoothie recipe by adding lemon or lime juice to it. Check the flavor and smell of this drink before drinking it to ensure it has not gone bad.
