Avocados are brilliant in smoothies – they need to be nice and ripe, but once they are they’re like the veg-equivalent of adding ice cream to a smoothie as they’re so rich and creamy.

Method

Simply blend all the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Drink straight away or freeze as ice lollies.
