This Vietnamese avocado smoothie is perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or as a midday snack. It's packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber. And, it's super easy to make! Just blend all the ingredients together and enjoy.

Sinh To Be usually contains sweetened condensed milk but for a plant-based option, we use coconut milk, which is similar to condensed milk in consistency. We prefer evaporated cane juice as our sweetener, but agave, sugar, or any sweetener of your choice will work just as well.

Avocado Facts

The avocado is a unique fruit because it contains more monounsaturated fat than any other fruit. This type of fat is the “good” kind that helps to lower cholesterol and improve heart health.

Avocados also contain vitamins C, B6, E, and K. They’re also a great source of fiber and potassium.

One avocado contains about 4 grams of protein and is naturally sodium and cholesterol-free.

So not only are avocados delicious but they’re also packed with nutrients that are important for our health. If you want to know more, you can check out our Avocado Guide.
