Making a Plain Avocado Smoothie

This version is plain and not as sweet as a normal smoothie. However, this is a healthier alternative.

1
Cut the avocado in half. To do this, slice the avocado vertically down the middle. Using a large, sharp knife will make the job easier. Then, twist the two halves of the avocado to separate them from each other.
2
Remove the pit. There are two ways to do this. The first way is to gently hack your knife into the pit until it lodges itself in it, then carefully pull it out. The second way is to use a spoon and scoop out the pit.
3
Remove the avocado flesh. You can do this by scooping it out with a spoon.
4
Chop the avocado roughly. This will make it easier to blend. Keep in mind that the chunks don't have to be too small or perfect.
5
Put the chopped avocado chunks into the blender. To avoid making a mess, you might like to transfer the pieces into a bowl first, then pour it into the blending jug.
6
Pour the cup of milk into the blender.
7
Blend until smooth and fully combined.
8
Pour the smoothie into a glass/bottle to enjoy!

Making a Sweet Avocado Smoothie

If you've got a sweet tooth, this one is for you! It might not be as healthy, but it's certainly more delicious!

2
Remove the avocado flesh. This can easily be done by scooping it out with a spoon. The flesh should be soft enough to scoop.
