Avocado Milk
This is a recipe for creamy avocado milk which can be made in 5 minutes with 3 ingredients. As a routine, I always buy an avocado drink on Friday mornings but not anymore because I make my own now! The home-made version is cheaper, purer and more tasty.

I made my avocado milk in a USB blender which is great for soft fruits like avocado, and enables me to bring it on-the-go.
Since I am in Singapore (Southeast Asia), I used evaporated milk and gula melaka syrup which is how we locals make this drink. The drink is much creamier and tastier as a result. However, one can easily substitute with any milk variety or sweetener.
If you want more control over the sweetness, you can add the sweetener only to each serving glass. On low-carb days, I drink this without sweetener.
Avocado Milk Recipe
This recipe uses evaporated milk and gula melaka (palm sugar) syrup for better creaminess and taste. Check out the ingredients substitution options at the end of the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado pitted & skinned
- 100ml cold evaporated milk (or any milk)
- 100ml cold pure coconut water (or water)
- 1 tsp gula melaka syrup (or any sweetener e.g. honey) to taste; omit for low-carb

Notes on ingredients substitution:
- Evaporated milk provides a creamier consistency and a richer flavour. You can substitute it with any milk variety.
- Coconut water adds natural sweetness and nutrients. It can be substituted with plain water.
- Gula melaka syrup is also known as palm sugar syrup. It adds a deep smokey depth to the drink. This is a popular sweetener in avocado drinks in Southeast Asia. You can substitute this with any sweetener – such as honey, agave/maple syrup or sugar.
