You don't like Avocado? The concept weirded me out at first, but I've had Avocado shakes with chocolate and I loooove it
Someone I know informed me there are a lot of recipes online for making your own vegan ice cream with avocado, so I'm wondering if it's a Tofurky situation where old-school vegans were eating avocado ice cream before we had access to all the fancy brands we do now. That was before my time, but it would make sense. I'm not an avocado hater in other contexts, I just don't think it makes a very good dairy replacement. I pile them onto my burritos though. It'd definitely be my last choice if I were trying to convince someone to go vegan.
Haha dang you bringing up Tofurkey in that context is real. I remember eating tofurkey like 14 years ago and it was soooo gross but years later the Italian Sausagr they make became a staple in my house and still is, and I'm an omnivore.
I tried the Avocado smoothie at an Asian restaurant I was eating at a while ago. I feel like I've seen them on Vietnamese and Thai menus a lot, so I think sweet Avocado preparations have been around for a long time. I know I've definitely gotten weird looks when I've told people about them though so I agree I don't think it would be the first thing to have a someone skeptical to Veganism try for sure
