This recipe is definitely a Christmas gift to me from my generous culinary muses, who know very well that I’m an unrepentant vanilla whore ever in pursuit of raw vegan recipes that can showcase vanilla the delicious way that milk can. If I were in biblical times, I’d go sacrifice a goat or something in gratitude. Things being as they are, however… I’ll just drink another glassful with thanks. The smile on my face says it all. :)

Am so glad I found the last bit of Tahitian vanilla I’d given my mother on a previous visit, lurking patiently in the back of her spice cabinet for this very day.

Creamy, light, refreshing, with a neutral-tasting backdrop that allows the vanilla to shine without competition, this shake/raw smoothie recipe is one to memorize and show off to your non-raw friends. Frequently.

*slurp*… I am in awe.

Very tasty. I had some vanilla from Grenada that I used.
Will the avocado color hold up over night? Too much for one day.
I am sure that some other fruits can be used in this recipe for different tastes even though I do not actually taste the avocado.

Hi Mopsie. Not sure how the color will hold up overnight. I’ve kept my Liquid Brownie smoothie nicely overnight (which uses avocado), but of course that is a rich brown in color. Try it and see! I agree… I think this recipe would be wonderful with fruit! Peaches… mango… dried cherries… some wonderful options out there. If you try them, let me know how they turn out!
