We’ve created a silky, indulgent yet naturally nourishing shake with our Avocado & Honey Shake. Ripe avocado brings a luxuriously creamy texture while providing heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fibre. Honey adds natural sweetness, balancing perfectly with the freshness of plant-based milk. This unique blend is light yet satisfying, making it a brilliant afternoon pick-me-up or dessert alternative for adults who want something sweet but wholesome.

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

• 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

• 300ml chilled almond milk (or oat milk)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 3–4 ice cubes

Directions

• Place the avocado flesh into a blender.
• Add honey, almond milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
• Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
• Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a little more honey if desired.
• Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately.

Key Notes

• For a thicker texture, use frozen avocado chunks instead of fresh.
• For extra nutrition, add a small handful of spinach — you won’t taste it, but it boosts the greens.
• Vegan-friendly option: swap honey for maple or agave syrup.
• Best served fresh — avoid storing as avocado tends to brown.

Variation Tips for Fussy Eaters

Swap honey for maple syrup – for a milder natural sweetness.

Add banana – boosts creaminess and flavour without changing colour.

Dairy-free milk options – oat, almond, or coconut milk work perfectly.

Mini portions – smaller servings for picky eaters.

Add hidden nutrition – a teaspoon of chia seeds or flax seeds blends in easily.

Top creatively – drizzle of honey, a few slices of banana, or granola for texture.

Freeze avocado chunks – for a thicker, ice-cream-like consistency.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

Using overripe or underripe avocado – affects texture and taste.

Adding too much honey – can make the shake overly sweet.

Skipping frozen ingredients or ice – leads to a thin, watery shake.

Not blending long enough – leaves lumps of avocado that fussy eaters may dislike.

Using warm milk – prevents the shake from being refreshingly creamy.

Ignoring portion size – too large a serving may feel heavy for kids.

Not balancing flavour – a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla can elevate the taste.
