Avocado Jalapeno Smoothie / Avocado Lassi! Yes, my try with this kind of smoothie, with the ‘most healthy’ Avocado along with a tinge of spice from Jalapeno.
When ever I see an avocado at home, the most common & general thought I get is, to make, Guacamole (Plant Based, Oil Free Dip).
But, in variation, I tried this spiced & chilled smoothie, that’s suitable not just for breakfast but can be had for any meal. So check on its benefits & making process.
