Avocado juice

A drink of avocado blended with milk and almonds; in Morocco “juice” often stands for what elsewhere is called a milkshake. During Ramadan it is a popular drink after the fast.

What it is

Anyone in Morocco who orders “jus d’avocat”, avocado juice, usually gets not a juice, according to Yabiladi, but avocado blended with milk and almonds; in many places the word “juice” means a milkshake. Most Moroccan milkshakes have an almond base; a more substantial version contains avocado.

When

During Ramadan, tea, fresh juices and smoothies are on the table after the fast, and avocado milkshakes are then a popular choice. Milkshakes in general are in great demand once the fast is broken.
