Vietnamese Avocado Smoothie (Sinh Tố Bơ) Recipe

It’s freakin’ hot out there. Let’s make a Vietnamese avocado smoothie or avocado milkshake (sinh tố bơ).

While most Americans associate avocados with savory dishes, in Vietnam, we use them in desserts like shakes and smoothies.

Sinh to bo is an ice-blended drink made with ripe avocados, sugar, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. It’s a refreshing drink for hot weather and a great, healthier alternative to traditional American milkshakes.

In this recipe below, I use a combination of condensed milk and sugar. Some people stick strictly to sweetened condensed milk, but I find adding a bit of granulated sugar helps blend the avocado into an ultra-smooth, velvety texture. You won’t taste or feel the sugar granules at all.

I use a high-powered Vitamix blender for this smoothie so it blends up nicely in a few seconds without the need to use the tamper. But any blender will do. It just might take a bit longer to get that smooth consistency.

Instructions

1. Prep the avocado: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Carefully tap the blade of your knife into the pit, twist gently to release it, and discard. Scoop the flesh directly into the blender.
2. Blend: Add the ice, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar. Blend on high until completely smooth. In a high-powered blender like a Vitamix, this takes about 20 seconds to reach a thick, velvety consistency.
3. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
