Spicy Vegan Avocado Cream

"A dollop of this avocado cream turns any meal into a dream."

Okay, that was just me quoting me, but I swear it's true! Tonight, I had a craving for hand-made corn tortillas, fresh veggies, and some kind of delightfully creamy avocado stuff that was a little fancier than plain guacamole. The secret ingredient? Zucchini! It has a light, smooth consistency when blended, and adds a little body so you don't have use as many precious avocados.

To make this spicy avocado cream, simply add these ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth and fluffy. Put a healthy blob on your tacos, nachos, enchiladas, burritos, scrambled eggs, or anything else that goes with avocado and jalapeno.

Enjoy!

  • 1 zucchini, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ripe avocados, pitted
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews (soaked for 20 minutes if time allows)
  • Juice of 1 and a half limes
  • 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 bunch of cilantro
  • 1/4 t sea salt
  • 1-2 T olive oil (I used garlic-infused olive oil)
  • warm water as needed for consistency

With love and avocado dreams,

Dr. Sarah Villafranco attended Georgetown University Medical School, and went on to complete her residency in emergency medicine at George Washington University. She moved to Colorado, where she practiced as a board-certified emergency medicine physician at Aspen Valley Hospital, Snowmass Clinic, and Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs, CO. After losing her mother to pancreatic cancer, she took a local soap making class, and fell in love with the chemistry and artistry of making soap. Sarah went into research mode and was alarmed to learn how many potentially harmful ingredients were in most skincare products on the market. She knew she could make better, safer products that were as effective (if not more so) than conventional products. After a few years of research and development, Sarah stepped away from the emergency room to launch Osmia Skincare in April of 2012. She remains a licensed physician in Colorado, and now helps people find healthier, happier skin as CEO of the brand.
