Nutritional values

Avocados not only make the drink nice and creamy, they also score points with healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. The fat-soluble vitamin acts as an antioxidant and thus protects the cells from harmful free radicals.

If you prefer to enjoy the drink vegan, simply replace cow's milk with a plant-based alternative.
