Avocado Sea Salt Shake

Author Notes: Portland is big on food carts. One of my favorite carts is Perierra Creperie which makes amazing milkshakes in addition to yummy crepes. The shake I find myself craving is their avocado sea salt shake. This is my version. I hope you enjoy! - hardlikearmour - hardlikearmour
Food52 Review: Pull all thoughts of guacamole out of your mind when deciding whether or not to try this luxurious frosty treat. This shake has the creamiest, dreamiest texture imaginable and the slight hints of salt and coconut really put it over the top. I tried this with both ripe avocados and with ones that were still pretty firm. The batch with the riper avocados was richer and more buttery whereas avocados that were slightly under-ripe lent a fruitier note. I tried this with lemon and lime juice and both work well although, although I slightly preferred the lime juice. - smrtallie - alliecooks
Serves 2
- 1 & ½ small hass avocados or 1 large hass avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- 1 cup coconut ice cream
- ¾ to 1 cup milk (or coconut milk beverage found in the dairy section of well-stocked grocery stores)
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon fleur de sel
- Cut avocado(s) in half and remove the pit. Scoop the meat into a blender. Add the lemon juice, ice cream, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth. Taste, add more salt, and briefly blend if desired. Divide into 2 glasses, sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt, place a straw in each glass and serve.

So creamy and enticing, I've never seen coconut ice cream, what is your favorite?

There are a couple of brands of non-dairy coconut ice cream - I like the Coconut Bliss best, but So Delicious is also good.

Great! I've seen So Delicious products, will look for Coconut Bliss, too.

WOW this is delicious - I've been looking for a way to add more avocado into my breakfast meal! It's super healthy with all of its vitamins and antioxidants - and it keeps you full all day! This shake is exactly what I'm looking for :)

wow, this sounds great. I love Perierra Creperie, too, but I've never had their avocado shake. Have you had the avocado shake at Pho Van? It's really tasty, too!

Thanks, vrunka! I've had the Pho Van avocado smoothie, and it's awesome. I went with the PC version since I'd had one recently and it'd been a while since I'd been to Pho Van. Have you had their banana blossom salad? Sooo good.

It is a lovely pale green. I think I need to make another batch purely for photography purposes ;)

Yummmm.... I had a very memorable avocado shake in Thailand. I think it was made with condensed milk. Really, you can never go wrong with condensed milk, IMO.

Would coconut water work in place of the 3/4 cup coconut milk beverage? AKA *found in the dairy section of well-stocked grocery stores", which pretty much excludes the state of Montana.

I don't see why not! Seems like a great substitution.

It's a good balance of sweet, rich, & salty IMO.
