Avocado Juice Calories: 202 kcal in a 250 ml Glass

A 250 ml glass of avocado juice made with milk and honey has 202 calories. The full 450 ml glass of this recipe has 363 calories, with 10.2 g protein, 23.1 g fat and 6.9 g fibre. Drop the honey and the full glass falls to 317 calories. Blend the avocado with water instead of milk and it is 160 calories.

Avocado is called butter fruit in South India, and the name explains the calories. Nearly all of them come from fat, not sugar. Half a medium avocado on its own is 160 kcal. What you blend it with decides the rest.

Built from USDA FoodData Central: avocado FDC 171705 (160 kcal per 100 g), whole milk FDC 172217 (61 kcal per 100 g, and 250 ml weighs about 258 g), honey FDC 169640 (304 kcal per 100 g). Checked 12 September 2026.

Protein. An avocado shake is not a protein drink. The avocado gives 2 g. The milk gives 8 g. That is 10.2 g in the full glass, or 5.7 g per 250 ml. Greek yogurt in place of milk pushes it higher.

Sugar. Avocado has almost none. The sugar in this glass is the lactose in the milk plus the honey you add. Skip the honey and you cut 46 kcal and about 12 g of sugar.

Why Avocado Makes the Creamiest Smoothie

An avocado smoothie recipe uses half a ripe avocado, 250 ml milk and a tablespoon of honey. It takes 30 seconds to blend. The full glass is 363 calories, with 23.1 g of fat and 6.9 g of fibre.

Most smoothie fruits add sweetness. Avocado adds thickness. The buttery texture comes from the fat in the fruit. You do not need a banana.

In South India, avocado is called butter fruit. The name fits. Half a medium fruit carries 9.8 g of monounsaturated fat, the same family of fat found in olive oil. USDA measures 14.7 g of total fat in 100 g of raw avocado.

You can blend this in a portable blender bottle. No big machine. No mess. Add the ingredients, blend for 30 seconds, and drink from the bottle.

Below is the exact recipe. The nutrition numbers come from USDA. Three variations follow.

Ingredients (1 Serving, ~450ml)

Avocado smoothie ingredients: 100g ripe avocado (half a medium fruit), 250ml whole milk, 15g honey (1 tablespoon), and optional 100g ice cubes.
  • 100g ripe avocado — half a medium fruit, pitted and peeled
  • 250ml whole milk — or any plant-based milk
  • 15g honey — about 1 tablespoon
  • 100g ice cubes — optional, for extra chill and thickness

Total cost: Rs 40-60 per serving (vs Rs 250-400 at a cafe).

Step-by-Step Recipe

  1. Pour milk first. Add 250ml cold milk to the blender bottle. Liquids always go in first so the blades spin freely.
  2. Add avocado. Scoop 100g of ripe avocado into the bottle. Make sure it is soft — firm avocado will not blend smooth.
  3. Add honey and ice. Drop in 15g honey. Add ice cubes if you want it cold and thick.
  4. Blend for 30-45 seconds. Press the button and let it run until completely smooth. No chunks should remain.
  5. Drink from the bottle. No extra glass needed. Sip it as a breakfast, post-workout drink, or afternoon snack.

Pro tip: With a portable blender, add the liquid first. Avocado packed against dry blades will jam the motor.

What the Research Actually Shows

Half a Hass avocado added to a meal kept 26 overweight adults feeling fuller. Over the five hours after lunch they rated themselves 23% more satisfied and 28% less keen to eat again. Over three hours the gap was wider still, at 26% and 40%.

What the trial did not show is a drop in blood sugar. Glucose did not differ between the meals. So eat avocado for the fullness and the fat, not for a blood sugar effect.

3 Variations to Try

1. Low-Calorie Version (about 220 kcal)

Swap whole milk for 250ml unsweetened almond milk. Halve the honey to 7g. Add 50g spinach for extra nutrients. Great for weight watchers.

2. High-Protein Version (about 480 kcal, 28 g protein)

Replace milk with 200ml Greek yogurt. Add 30g whey protein powder. Keep avocado and honey the same. Perfect after a gym session.

3. Kids Version (about 400 kcal)

Add half a banana (60g) and 5ml chocolate syrup. Reduce avocado to 70g so the green colour is less intense. Kids love the chocolate-banana combo.

3 Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Using unripe avocado. Firm avocado will not break down in a portable blender. You get gritty lumps. Press the skin gently. It should give a little.
  2. Skipping the liquid-first step. Avocado is dense. Put it in first and it sticks to the blades. The motor then struggles. Pour the milk in first.
  3. Leaving the pit or skin in. It sounds obvious. Pit bits or skin can still jam the blades. Scoop the flesh out cleanly first.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories are in 250 ml of avocado juice?

202 calories, if it is made with milk and a spoon of honey. That glass also carries 5.7 g protein, 12.8 g fat and 3.8 g fibre. Made with water and no honey, the same 250 ml is about 115 calories.

How many calories in avocado juice without sugar?

317 calories for the full 450 ml glass, once you leave the honey out. The honey is 46 of the 363 calories in the sweetened version. Avocado itself has almost no sugar, so the drink still tastes rich without it.

How much protein is in an avocado shake?

10.2 g in the full glass, and 5.7 g per 250 ml. Most of that is the milk. The avocado contributes only 2 g. Swap the milk for 200 ml Greek yogurt and you get close to 28 g.

Is avocado smoothie good for weight loss?

Yes, in moderation. The fat and fibre keep you full for hours, which cuts snacking. The full glass is 363 calories, so treat it as a meal rather than a drink. Leave out the honey to make it 317, or use water instead of milk for 160.

Can I make avocado smoothie without milk?

Yes. Use coconut water, almond milk, or plain water instead. The texture will be thinner but still creamy because of the avocado fat.

How long does avocado smoothie last?

Drink it within 30 minutes. Avocado oxidises fast and turns brown. If you must store it, add a squeeze of lemon juice and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Can a portable blender blend avocado?

Yes, if the avocado is ripe and soft. Cut it into small chunks first. Always add liquid before the avocado so the blades can spin freely.

Is avocado smoothie good for skin?

Avocados are rich in vitamin E and healthy fats that support skin health. Regular consumption can improve skin hydration and elasticity over time.
