Sweet Protein-Avocado Recipe

Hey there health-nuggets!

I have always been fascinated by avocado. It has such a creamy and rich taste... but is it a fruit or vegetable? The answer is both because it is so versatile and can be used in both savory and sweet dishes. I love to make some fresh, lemony guacamole or just eat it with bread. 

Finally I decided to try it sweet and oh.. my.. it turned out SO good! It is very simple and anyone can make this at home in less that 5 minutes. All you need is a good blender and you're good to go!

What you will need:

  • a blender
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 200g of low-fat, smooth cottage cheese or greek yogurt
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • unsalted pistachios (optional)


What you will do:

(1) peel the avocado and put it in the blender together with cottage cheese, blend until it all gets smooth and green

(2) squeeze the lime and add the juice

(3) add 1 tablespoon of honey to sweeten it up (for a low-kcal option you can use stevia or a drop of organic vanilla extract)

(4) to garnish add some thinly chopped pistachios (or other nuts) on top

(5) ENJOY this green goodness that has a ton of antioxidants, healthy fats and protein!
