Vietnamese Avocado Smoothie (Sinh Tố Bơ)

Vietnamese avocado smoothie is simple, but it always hits. It’s creamy, lightly sweet, and made with just 3 ingredients in under 5 minutes. Cold, smooth, and refreshing, it’s the kind of drink that doubles as a quick dessert, especially during the summer.

This was one of those things I had growing up whenever we needed to use up extra avocados. My daughter isn’t really an avocado fan, but she loves this. Once it’s blended, it’s smooth and creamy with no strong avocado taste, which makes it easy for anyone to enjoy. If you like drinks like Vietnamese iced coffee or desserts like che thai, this fits right in.

What Is Sinh Tố Bơ?

Sinh to bo is a Vietnamese avocado smoothie made with ripe avocados, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and ice. It’s known for its creamy texture and balanced sweetness.

Unlike typical fruit smoothies, this one leans more rich and smooth rather than bright and fruity. The avocado gives it a naturally thick consistency, almost like a milkshake.

Please scroll ⬇️ to the recipe card for the full ingredient amounts and instructions.

• Avocados should be fully ripe. They should feel slightly soft when pressed. This is what gives the smoothie its creamy texture and mild flavor.
• Sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and that signature richness. Start with less and adjust to taste.
• Milk helps thin the smoothie. Whole milk gives the creamiest result, but coconut milk works really well, too, if you want a dairy-free option.
• Ice helps chill and slightly thicken the smoothie so it’s cold and refreshing.

How to Make Vietnamese Avocado Smoothie

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender.

Add the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and ice.

Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a little more condensed milk.

If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again.

Pour into glasses and serve right away.

Variations

You can keep it classic or switch it up depending on what you’re in the mood for:

• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more dessert-like version
• Use coconut milk for a slightly richer, tropical flavor
• Add a little sugar if you don’t have condensed milk
• Blend in a small amount of durian for a stronger, more traditional Southeast Asian flavor
• Add a handful of spinach for a boost of greens (you won’t really taste it)
• Mix in a banana for extra sweetness and an even creamier texture

All of these still keep that smooth, creamy base, but give you a slightly different flavor depending on what you add.

When to Serve It

This is perfect as:

• A quick breakfast
• An afternoon snack
• A light dessert
• A refreshing drink on a hot day

Storage Tips

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh.

If needed, you can store it in the fridge for a few hours, but the texture is best right after blending.
