AVOCADO
For those who love Avocado, this fruit can be used to prepare creamy and smooth milkshake, which can be a treat during hot summers. But as Avocado is bland in taste, adding sugar is a must while preparing this milkshake. Avocado pulp has a creamy texture and hence its milkshake does not need ice cream to bring creaminess. Use non dairy milk (like almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk) instead of regular milk to make Vegan Avocado Milkshake.
