Pokhara's Avocado Smoothie King 🥑

One Sip and You're Hooked—Worth Every Extra Step During my days in Pokhara, I found myself daily: "When will I find that life-changing avocado smoothie?" It wasn’t until a local friend dragged me to Ambika Juice’s little window that I knew—this was it. Watching the owner shove whole avocados into the blender, I could already tell: the wait was worth it. 🥑 The secret to obsession: Freshness so pure, it tastes like biting into a ripe fruit The smoothie arrives with a frosty chill, its pale green liquid thick enough to cling to the glass, swirling slowly when you shake it. First sip, and my eyes fluttered shut: avocado creaminess mingles with icy milk, sweet in the most "authentic" way—no cloying syrup, just the fruit’s natural fragrance, like biting into a freshly picked, perfectly ripe avocado. Even my breath feels tinged with a grassy freshness. Compared to others by the lake—some watery as if diluted, others cloyingly sweet—this one’s "richness" and "freshness" leave them in the dust. The owner says he picks avocados at dawn, only choosing those with dark skins, soft to the touch: "No stale ones here." No wonder it tastes like blended fruit puree, smooth enough to melt on your tongue. 📍 The only "flaw": A bit far from the lakeside, but so worth it Admittedly, it’s a 10-minute walk from Phewa Lake—hot under the sun, sure. But the second you take that first sip, all complaints melt away. As the local guy put it: "We all bike here. It’s worth it!" 🍹 Classic juice hides surprises—take one to go, you won’t regret it Reluctant to leave, I grabbed a large classic juice (a blend of mango, orange, and pineapple). First sip, and I kicked myself for not trying it sooner: mango sweetness, orange tang, pineapple brightness collide in your mouth, icy refreshment like swallowing a mouthful of crushed ice—more "vibrant" than the smoothie, in its own way. The owner laughed while packing it: "Lots of people come once in the morning, then again in the afternoon—say they ‘can’t get enough.’" I believe it—this avocado smoothie’s already top of my "Pokhara revisit musts" list.
