DISH NAME : AVOCADO SMOOTHIE

Preparation Time : 10 minutes

Cooking Time : No cooking

Description

Smoothies are never strained like juice. So all the fibre is intact in a smoothie & hence healthier.
Avocado is a green, fleshy, pear-shaped fruit. It has a single large seed.
The flesh is smooth and buttery, with a nutty flavor. It is used in sandwiches, salads, smoothies and milkshakes. Use only ripe Avocado. To ripen the fruit, keep in a brown paper bag. When ripe it will turn brown from green. Since the cut fruit discolours fast, it should be tossed with lemon juice soon as it is cut, if not used immediately.
