What is the Vietnamese avocado smoothie, sinh tố bơ?
It's exactly as it sounds; an avocado smoothie. Sinh tố, pronounced "sing toeh" means smoothie in Vietnamese, and bơ, pronounced "buh" means butter or avocado. In this case, it means avocado. Stay with me here - there are 2 meanings. Trái bơ means avocado fruit in Vietnamese. So before I confuse you, let's move on. The Vietnamese avocado smoothie, sinh tố bơ, is delicious as a midnight snack in Vietnam as it is a breakfast smoothie in America. I have a sensitive stomach so when I make it, I can control what is it in and keep it creamy, smooth, and luscious. I am sensitive to milk and have developed a slight lactose intolerance so I prefer condensed milk which also works as a sweetener. So if you have some dairy intolerance but can process condensed milk this recipe is gold. The 2 main ingredients are avocadoes and condensed milk combined with some crushed ice. If you don't have or want to use condensed milk, then sugar is a great substitute.

🛒Recipe Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
- Ice: Ice in any shape or form is essential to this smoothie. Ice will blend well with the avocado.
- Condense milk: Condense milk is traditionally used in Vietnamese avocado smoothies (sinh tố bơ). There are 2 leading brands that I grew up using, the Longevity Brand and the Black & White Brand with a cow. We called the Longevity brand sữa ông gia, and the Black and White brand, sữa bò. If you decide to get one of these, stop by your local Asian grocery store first. Any condensed milk will work just fine! Try the Borden Eagle Brand, at this time of posting it is priced at $3.19.
- Avocado: Any variety of avocados will do, so long as they are ripe. Ripe avocadoes will have a buttery texture best for smoothies.
- Milk: Milk makes the smoothie, creamy and smooth. But if you are allergic to cow's milk you can omit dairy altogether and use oatmeal milk, soy milk, or water.
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
↔Substitutions & Variations
- Swap out condensed milk for sugar.
- For a creamier smoothie, you can add plain yogurt to the mix.
- Additional toppings you can add to your Vietnamese avocado smoothie (sinh tố bơ) are whipped cream, chia seeds, and even boba pearls!
👩🏫 How to make Vietnamese Avocado Smoothie (sinh tố bơ):
Step 1: Cut the ripe avocado in half with a knife and take out the seed.
Step 2: Add ice to a blender.
Step 3: Scoop out the avocado inside with a spoon.
Step 4: Pour condensed milk over the avocado.
Step 5: Add your preferred milk or water. I am using oat milk.
Step 6: Blend until well combined and smoothed.
Substitutions & Variations
- If you don't have a blender you can smash the avocados up with a spoon and mix it with crushed ice, and condensed milk. This is a more chunky variation of sinh tố bơ.
- If you want a more liquid smoothie, add more liquid. If you want a thicker smoothie, add less liquid.
Expert Tips
- Vietnamese avocado is best consumed on the same day.
- If the avocado smoothie starts to separate just mix it back up!
- Add additional sugar if you like it sweeter.
🙋♀️Recipes FAQ
Yes, with very few ingredients in this smoothie, you can taste the flavor of avocado.
Avocadoes are a great source of monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and other nutrients. Putting avocados in your shakes will give you a nutritional boost. Depending on what you put in your avocado shake, it can be healthy or unhealthy.
❄️Storage instructions
- Refrigerator: Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, brown discoloration will happen over time. This is normal, the drink is still edible.
