Vitamina de Abacate (Brazilian Avocado Shake)
In Brazil the avocado is a fruit and this is what happens to it: blended with milk and a little sugar into a thick pale-green shake. It sounds wrong to anyone who has only met avocado on toast and it converts them in one glass.

Method
Blend everything until thick and smooth
BlendScoop the avocado into a blender with the milk, yoghurt, honey and lime juice, and blend until completely smooth and thick. Taste and add honey a teaspoon at a time — a ripe avocado needs very little.

Scoop out a properly ripe avocado
PrepHalve the avocado, twist out the stone and scoop the flesh straight into the blender. It must be properly ripe — one that resists the spoon will leave green threads through the shake no amount of blending removes.

Cold, and straight away
ServePour into two tall glasses and drink it cold, straight away. It browns if it sits, which is what the lime is slowing down.

Cook's noteBlend it with a handful of ice for a hotter morning. Any milk works, dairy or not — the texture comes from the avocado, not the milk. Brazilians use a great deal more sugar than this; start here and go up if your household votes for it.
