Sweet & Savoury Avocado-Garlic Smoothie
Yep. You read that right. Garlic. In a smoothie. But trust me—roasted garlic, paired with creamy avocado and a hint of lemon, creates a smooth, almost hummus-inspired drink that’s shockingly tasty and deeply satisfying. Think: smoothie meets chilled gazpacho, but sexier.
Ingredients (serves 1)
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 clove roasted garlic (not raw—mellow and sweet when roasted)
- ½ small cucumber, peeled
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 150 ml unsweetened almond milk or light coconut milk
- Small handful of fresh parsley or cilantro
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: A pinch of cumin or a few drops of hot sauce for a kick
- Optional garnish: A swirl of olive oil or pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Roast the garlic: Wrap a clove in foil and bake at 180°C (350°F) for ~15–20 min until soft. Let it cool.
- Blend: Add everything to a blender—roasted garlic, avocado, cucumber, lemon juice, herbs, milk, and spices. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste & tweak: Add a little water if it’s too thick. Season with more lemon, salt, or spice if needed.
- Serve chilled: Pour into a glass or a small bowl. Optionally garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and seeds for ultimate health café in Barcelona vibes.
