Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Variations
Use coconut milk for a tropical flavor.

Use almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
Add matcha powder for an avocado matcha boba.
Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass for a sweeter twist.
Storage/Reheating
Avocado Boba is best served fresh because avocado can darken over time and boba pearls can harden.
You can store the avocado drink without boba in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir or blend again before serving.
Cooked boba is best used within a few hours. Avoid reheating the full drink, but you can briefly warm the boba in a little hot water if it becomes too firm.
FAQs
Can I make Avocado Boba without condensed milk?
Yes. You can use honey, sugar, maple syrup, or any sweetener you prefer.
Can I use frozen avocado?
Yes. Frozen avocado works well and can make the drink extra cold and creamy.
What type of milk is best?
Whole milk gives the creamiest result, but oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk also work well.
Can I make this drink vegan?
Yes. Use plant-based milk and replace condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or maple syrup.
Why did my avocado drink turn brown?
Avocado naturally darkens when exposed to air. Serve it fresh for the best color.

It is better to cook boba shortly before serving because it becomes firm as it sits.

Can I make it sweeter?

Can I skip the boba pearls?
Yes. The avocado drink is still delicious without boba.
