Creamy Avocado Mint Shake
This shake is like a refreshing hug in a glass! I love how the creaminess of the avocado blends with the coolness of the mint for a drink that’s both nourishing and delightful.
I remember the first time I made this shake on a hot summer afternoon.
I was craving something cool and refreshing but didn’t want to reach for a sugary drink.
That’s when I thought, why not blend up some ripe avocado with fresh mint?
The result was this creamy delight.
It’s one of my go-to recipes when I want to treat myself without any guilt, and it’s packed with nutrients too!

Ingredients & Substitutions
The avocado is the star here—its creaminess gives the shake that luscious texture without any dairy. Fresh mint is essential; you could use dried mint, but fresh really elevates the flavor. If you don’t have almond milk, any plant-based milk you love will work just fine!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my avocados at room temperature until they’re ripe, then pop them in the fridge to slow down the ripening process.
- •Blend for a bit longer if you want an extra creamy texture.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a tablespoon of chia seeds for an extra boost of nutrition and fiber.
- •If I want a chocolatey twist, I’ll add a tablespoon of cacao powder.
Storage & Freezing
This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or blend again to remix the ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different sweetener?
Absolutely! You can substitute with agave nectar, date syrup, or even a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
