- 1 tablespoon cacao nibs - optional

Notes
- Milk: You can use dairy milk, or for a vegan-friendly milkshake choose a plant-based milk which goes well with fruits. Almond Milk, Oats milk, Lite Coconut Milk or Cashew Milk works well too. To thin out thick canned coconut milk - mix the coconut milk with water in 1:1 proportion or 1:2 proportion respectively.
- Make it more healthy: Other than dried moringa leaves, you can include cacao nibs, chia seeds, spinach, berries, nuts and a protein powder of your choice. You can also include banana, mango, pineapple or papaya for a tropical avocado milkshake.
- Consistency: This recipe gives you a thick avocado shake. If you prefer a thinner consistency, just add more of your favorite milk.
- Flavorings: Use ground spices like ground cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, ginger or pumpkin spice for that warm flavor.
- Sweeteners: You can omit the sweeteners or add your choice of sweetener - raw sugar, coconut sugar, palm sugar, brown sugar or agave syrup. You could also add some dates or figs, but the color of the avocado shake will become dark.
- Scaling: The recipe can be scaled up to make for more servings.
