A NOTE FROM THE KITCHEN

Start with ripe fruit and cold milk.

Moroccan avocado shakes are often made with milk and sugar, with nuts or dried fruit added in some versions. This home version uses a modest amount of ground almond and honey. Begin with cold ingredients so no extra chilling is needed.

BEHIND THE DISH · Moroccan milkshake traditions

A fruit often used in savory dishes becomes the creamy center of a gently sweet glass.

ORIGINS & EVOLUTION

Avocado in a sweet drink.

Avocado milkshakes are familiar in Morocco, where ripe avocado is blended with milk and a sweetener. Nuts or dried fruit may be added, creating variations in both flavor and texture.

CULTURAL CONTEXT

A refreshment for shops and home tables.

Avocado shakes can be found at juice stalls and snack shops and may be offered to family or guests. They are also enjoyed during Ramadan evenings alongside the many other juices and milk-based drinks served then.

AT THE TABLE

A modest almond addition.

Our version blends avocado with cold milk, finely ground almonds, and honey. The avocado supplies the creamy body without ice cream. A few almond slivers finish the glass, and the milk quantity is adjusted to the fruit’s texture.
