This is our favourite milkshake. It is creamy, smooth, and has a rich buttery taste. And it has none of the guilt associated with gulping down an icecream milkshake made with real cream.
When made with the right ingredients, it becomes a healthy indulgence. Use fresh coconut milk if you can find it, otherwise use light coconut milk. With the buttery creaminess from the avocado, you can use low-fat milk and still get that rich taste the we like in milkshakes.
In so many of our recipes, we mentioned how those foods brought back good childhood memories. We hope that you won’t be disappointed if we tell you that this smoothie brings back no such memories. Avocados do grow in Somalia but we remember that it was a fruit that most Somalis were not familiar with.
Buy an avocado that will yield when you push it gently with your index finger. If all you find are rock-hard avocados, don’t despair. Place it in a paper bag with an apple or banana or both and leave it on the counter. The avocado will ripen quickly.
If you are adding fresh pineapple to the smoothie, the pineapple must be very ripe, otherwise you will end up with a bitter-tasting smoothie. Canned pineapples will work well in this recipe.

Just out of curiosity do avocados grow in somalia? I asked a few people and they told me that it only grows in kenya.
We found that information in a journal, but we have never seen avocado trees in Somalia.

Where do I begin !!!!
Firstly I send warm greetings towards you guys, I’ve spent the past hour lying sick in bed watching your youtube videos you guys give me life, I’ve tried some of your recipes and they’ve gone down a treat with my husband, and our guests … Masha Allah it’s amazing how much time and effort you put into making these videos for us all especially the fact that you make our traditional somali dishes so easy, I’m a young woman in my mid twenties and I can cook some bad ass somali food thanks to you guys, may Allah reward you both abundantly for your sincere efforts…… Keep the videos coming, I’ve seen people say this before on the comments but seriously think about publishing a book inshallah when the time is right…
Much love from the UK
