Avocado Coffee: Good Idea or Bad?

Making a creamy iced coffee with plant-based milk can be difficult to match the rich creaminess of dairy.

Hannah Kaminsky, a cookbook author, has a genius solution: avocado iced coffee. It may sound bizarre, but think of bulletproof coffee with butter - is avocado really that different?

This coffee drink is a blend of iced coffee and smoothie, packed with healthy fats from avocado and coconut milk.

For a strong coffee flavor, start with strong brewed coffee like cold brew or dark roast. The healthy fats in the drink may keep you fuller longer than a regular iced coffee - a bonus if you use it for breakfast.

Avocado Iced Coffee

Ingredients Needed

½ ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 drops liquid stevia (see Note)
1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
Ice, to serve

Instructions

Combine the avocado, milk, vanilla, stevia, and coffee in a blender until smooth.
Fill one or two glasses with ice, and pour the coffee mixture on top. Enjoy!

Note: You can use your favorite sweetener like maple syrup, coconut sugar, or granulated sugar, to taste.
