Avocado juice

Avocado's, when combined with green vegetables, make for some of the greatest smoothies known to mankind.

But avocado can also be juiced. A favourite in Vietnamese restaurants fresh avocados are combined with water and ice, served super thick in a big glass.

In many smoothies avocado is used simply as a thickener, but it is so influential in balancing the alkalinity of the body that it can be drunk by itself.
