It seems I never wake up properly until I’ve had my caffeine injection of a cup of coffee in the morning. Thought I’d try it a different way this time with this delicious smoothie. It includes some avocado which is really healthy – not to mention delicious! So combining it in this breakfast smoothie will not only wake me up, but sets me up for the day, too.
The recipe (at the end of the post) is based on one from Kate Hackworthy, a freelance food writer, magazine columnist and blogger, who is unashamedly obsessed with vegetables. Kate writes at VeggieDesserts and says …
This recipe is based on Sinh To Bo, the traditional Vietnamese avocado shake, with the extra addition of coffee. Because, well, I need it. My kids wake up at six AM and it’s killing my slowly. The avocado and fresh hazelnut milk make it silky smooth, thick, rich and delicious … So this one is vegan, gluten free, sugar free and is packed with nutrients from the humble avocado.

Recipe: Coffee Avocado Date Smoothie
Serves 2-4
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe Avocado, flesh only
- 1-2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 8 Dates, seeds removed
- 1 cup Hazelnut Milk, or Almond Milk, store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup strong Coffee, cooled
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 big handful Ice cubes
Blend until smooth and allow to sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly. Enjoy.
Notes:
1. Avocado is perfectly packaged with the healthy fat necessary for our bodies to absorb the nutrients it provides.
2. For homemade hazelnut milk, as with most nut milks, the ratio is 1 cup nuts to 4 cups water.
