Avocado Smoothie / Sinh Tố Bơ

Admit it: when you think of avocados, the first things you usually think of are either guacamole or avocado toast. Am I right, or am I right?
Most Western cultures typically use avocados in a savory format, but the first time I ever had an avocado was actually in an avocado smoothie!

Growing up, I thought Avocado was a fruit purely meant for sweet or dessert use. As a kid, I would just cut an avocado in half, fill the empty pit with sugar, and eat it straight up. It wasn’t until years later that I discovered that you could actually use it for savory dishes.

To this day, though, my favorite way to consume avocado is still in a smoothie. Every time I drink it, it takes me back to my childhood when my older brother would take me to Billiards Hoang in Seattle. There, I’d watch him and his friends smoke and play pool, and he’d always buy me a smoothie to bribe me into not telling my parents he smoked.

It takes just a few ingredients and hardly any prep time, but it is incredibly satisfying.

My favorite condensed milk is Sữa Ông Thọ (Longevity brand), which I’ve been using my entire life and who I’m actually named after. Not the condensed milk but one of the three prosperities that symbolizes longevity LOL. Did you know it actually comes in squeeze bottle form now? That’s a game changer for ease of use and storage.
