Ethiopian Inspired Layered Smoothie

Written by:  Jamie

pe1

Most people who have been to Ethiopia have either tried or seen the layered avocado “smoothies”.

Here is a fun twist on a classic drink.


Ingredients:

Note: any fruit can be used or substituted in this recipe (except we strongly recommend the avocado). Mango is a great classic edition that didn’t happen to be available the day we made the recipe, but is a delicious compliment to the sweet avocado flavor.

2-3 Avocados, sliced
6 oz blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1-2 tablespoons honey
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup of water
3 oz rum (optional)
edible flower for garnish (optional)

Directions:

First layer:

In a blender, add avocado, 1-2 tablespoon honey, lime juice, and 1 ounce of rum (or water). Blend until smooth, adding water until it is pourable but not watery.

Pour first layer into a  glass.

Layer 2:

Blend blueberries, 1 ounce rum (or water), and a touch of honey. If using fresh blueberries, blend with ice to thicken.

Pour second layer.

Layer 3:

Blend strawberries, 1 ounce rum (or water) , and a touch of honey. Again, if using fresh strawberries, blend with ice to thicken.

Pour on top layer.

Garnish with an edible flower.

Enjoy!
