Avocado Shake
Ah, Monday! Many good intentions have started on Mondays. Today is my first day back on the ketosis wagon. I've had a very indulgent carb up weekend while celebrating my cousins' birthday.
I woke up this morning to strong winds, snow, and dreaming of summer. The winds have died down but the snow still rages on. Now, a cold drink is not very ideal for this weather but I did just come back from hot yoga so I'm pretty warm. I've had a love-love relationship with avocado shakes since I was little when my dad use to make them for me during a hot day in the Philippines. His version had avocado, ice, & condensed milk and tasted like heaven.
My keto friendly version has a few substitutes and an addition to make it healthier. Here's the recipe:
AVOCADO SHAKE

1 cups of ice
3/4 cup of unsweetened coconut milk

2 drops of liquid stevia or other low carb sweetener
