Avocado and Kiwi Cream When I feel like I need a quick snack and don’t want something heavy, I make this avocado and kiwi cream. I usually prepare it in the morning, right for breakfast. It takes five minutes to make and is great if you want something light after days of indulging in traditional foods. It’s a recipe I keep coming back to because it doesn’t require fancy ingredients and you don’t need any special skills. Quick Info Total Time: 5-7 minutes Preparation Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: none required Servings: 1 Difficulty: very easy Recipe Type: quick snack, breakfast Ingredients 1/2 ripe avocado 1 ripe kiwi 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice Acacia honey, to taste (I usually add about a teaspoon, but everyone adjusts) Slices of kiwi and frozen raspberries for decoration Preparation Method 1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and immediately drizzle the pulp with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. 2. Scoop out the pulp from half an avocado and place it in a bowl. 3. Peel the kiwi, cut it into pieces, and add it over the avocado. 4. Add honey, according to how sweet you want it. 5. Using an immersion blender or a hand mixer, blend everything for a few seconds until you get a smooth cream. 6. Pour the cream into a small bowl and decorate with thin slices of kiwi and a few pieces of frozen raspberries. 7. Consume immediately while fresh. Why I Make This Recipe Often I love that it’s quick to prepare and doesn’t require special planning. The ingredients are simple and can be found anytime. It’s easy to digest and suitable for little ones, especially if you’re getting them used to raw fruits. You don’t have to wait for it to cool or refrigerate it. Tips and Variations Tips Use a ripe avocado; otherwise, the cream won’t have a smooth texture. The kiwi should be soft to the touch, not hard, to avoid a sour or astringent taste. If you want to avoid oxidation, mix everything quickly after drizzling the avocado with lemon juice. Substitutions You can replace honey with maple syrup if you need a vegan option. The frozen raspberries for decoration can be omitted, or you can use blueberries or other berries. Variations For a lighter texture, you can add a tablespoon of natural yogurt (note, this is not in the original recipe). If you want a different flavor, try adding a bit of lime instead of lemon. You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds for consistency. Serving Ideas It’s suitable for breakfast, simple, or on thin slices of toasted whole-grain bread. It also works as a snack between meals, perhaps with some plain cookies on the side. You can use the cream as a filling for pancakes if you want something quick. Frequently Asked Questions 1. What can I do if the avocado is not ripe enough? If you don’t have a ripe avocado, you can leave it at room temperature for a few days next to other fruits (apples or bananas) until it softens. I do not recommend using an unripe avocado; the texture will not be pleasant. 2. Can I make the cream with a regular blender, not an immersion blender? Yes, it works with a regular blender too; just don’t overdo it with the blending so it doesn’t become too liquid. 3. If I don’t have frozen raspberries, can I skip the decoration? Sure, the decoration is optional. The cream is good on its own, but any fresh fruit or a few seeds can be used for appearance. 4. Can it be prepared in advance for later? I don’t recommend it because avocado oxidizes quickly, and the cream changes color. It’s best consumed immediately. 5. Is it suitable for small children? Yes, if the little ones don’t have allergies to any of the ingredients, it can be offered as a nutritious snack. Nutritional Values (estimated) One serving (without additional decoration): - Approximately 170-190 kcal - Fat: 11-13g (mostly healthy fats from avocado) - Carbohydrates: 20-22g (from fruits and honey) - Protein: 2g Values may vary slightly depending on the size of the fruits and how much honey you add. Storage and Reheating Avocado and kiwi cream does not store well because avocado oxidizes and becomes unappealing shortly after preparation. I recommend making it right before consuming. If there’s still a small amount left, cover the surface of the cream directly with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge, but consume it the same day. Reheating is not necessary and not recommended. This is how I prepare avocado and kiwi cream, without complications and unnecessary steps. If you have the ingredients on hand, you don’t need any other preparations.
