Sinh To Bo - Vietnamese Avocado Shake with Lime
In Vietnam the avocado is a sweet fruit, not something for bread. Blended with milk and honey it makes a thick, cold shake - traditionally with sweetened condensed milk, here far less sweet.
Why this dish is good for you
The avocado supplies monounsaturated fat, potassium and 5 g of fibre per serving - unusual for a drink. With 40 g of honey across four glasses the sugar sits far below the original, which often holds 60 g of condensed milk per glass.
Ingredients
- Avocado(ripe, about two)300 g
- Milk(ice cold)500 g
- Honey(instead of sweetened condensed milk)40 g
- Lime juice(keeps it from browning)20 g
Method
- 1
Halve and stone the avocados and scoop out the flesh. Use only ripe fruit - unripe avocado tastes grassy in a shake.
- 2
Put it in the blender with the ice-cold milk, honey and lime juice.
- 3
Blend on high for a minute until the mixture is pale and thick.
- 4
Pour into glasses and serve cold at once - after half an hour the shake loses both colour and freshness.
🥑 Warum die Limette dazugehört
In cut flesh, the enzyme polyphenol oxidase turns avocado brown within minutes. Acid lowers the pH far enough that the enzyme barely works - a squeeze of lime keeps the shake green.
