The method
Step by step
- 1
Halve the ripe avocados lengthwise and carefully scoop out the creamy flesh into a high-speed blender.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal creaminess and flavor. Overripe avocados can sometimes have an off-putting taste.
- 2
Pour the plant milk and sweetened condensed coconut milk into the blender with the avocado.
Cook’s note: Any neutral-flavored plant milk like almond, soy, or oat milk works well. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to your desired level of sweetness and richness.
- 3
Add the granulated sugar to the blender, if using, to enhance the sweetness.
Cook’s note: Taste a small piece of the avocado first; its natural sweetness can vary. You can always add more sugar later if needed.
- 4
Add the ice cubes to the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Cook’s note: Using smaller ice cubes or crushed ice can help achieve a smoother consistency more quickly and reduce strain on your blender.
- 5
Secure the blender lid and blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes, until it is completely smooth and thick.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more plant milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a bit more avocado.
- 6
Stop the blender and use a rubber spatula to scrape down any unblended avocado or ice from the sides of the pitcher.
Cook’s note: This ensures a uniformly smooth texture and prevents any chunky bits in your final smoothie.
- 7
Continue blending for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the smoothie is velvety smooth with no visible lumps.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: The final consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable.
- 8
Pour the freshly blended Sinh Tố Bơ into two chilled serving glasses.
Cook’s note: Chilling your glasses beforehand can help keep the smoothie colder for longer, enhancing the refreshing experience.
- 9
Serve the smoothie immediately to enjoy its optimal creamy texture and refreshing coolness.
Cook’s note: For an elegant touch, garnish with a thin slice of fresh avocado, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, or a delicate drizzle of extra condensed coconut milk.
Keep it good
This Sinh Tố Bơ is a delightful way to enjoy avocados beyond savory dishes. For a richer flavor, you can lightly toast the condensed coconut milk before adding it. Pair this refreshing smoothie with a light Vietnamese spring roll or a fresh fruit salad for a complete and satisfying snack.
This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Not applicable; this smoothie is served cold. If stored, stir well before consuming as separation may occur.
