History avolatte It began in 2017 at Truman Cafe in Melbourne, where the barists prepared this unusual drink … quite accidentally. “We didn’t really sell it at all. Someone came and asked for avocado coffee” – explained one of the cafe employees in an interview with the media. The drink, served in the avocado shell, was supposed to be a jokebut the photos taken by the client quickly circulated Instagram and Facebook, and Avolatte quickly became an online phenomenon,
Barists from Truman Cafe, surprised by popularity, joke that they can introduce Avolatte permanently into the menu. “People write to us from all over the world, asking how it tastes,” says the coffee service. Although the drink was born as a curiosity, his success was inspired by cafes from Los Angeles to Warsaw to create his own versions.
Avolatte to A combination of freshly brewed coffee with avocado puree, vegetable milk (e.g. almond, oat) and cinnamon or cocoa. In the basic form, it resembles creamy smoothie with a clear coffee accent. Although in Truman Cafe in Melbourne, they were served in the avocado shell they can be served in glasses or cups.
Avocado, main element of Avolatte, It is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic acid, which supports heart health, reducing the level of “bad” LD cholesterol. This was confirmed by the study in Journal of the American Heart Association (2015). Also contains fiber (approx. 6-7 g per 100 g), which regulates digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Avocado provides vitamins E, C, K, B6 and minerals such as potassium and magnesium, which support the immune system, the skin and the nervous system. Study published in Nutrition Journal (2013) showed that adding half avocado to a meal reduces hunger for up to 3-5 hours, conducive to reducing snacking.
The second pillar of Avolatte is coffee. The caffeine contained in it blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, improving vigilance, concentration and mood for a few hours. Coffee also has metabolic potential. According to the study in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (1989), caffeine can increase resting energy expenditure by 3-11%, which means slight acceleration of calorie combustion. However, this effect is short -lived (several hours) and weakens in people who regularly drink coffee. Avocado fats can slow down caffeine absorption, potentially prolonging its effect – it is a hypothesis that requires confirmation.
Who should drink Avolatte?
Athletes, students, mind employees and lovers of a healthy lifestyle will gain a solid dose of energy before morning training or long working hours without having to prepare a full meal. Avolatte can act as a quick, nutritious solution – it combines caffeine “kop” with avocado nutritional values, offering a light snack at the beginning of the day.
Who should be careful?
Aviolatte is not for everyone. Half avocado is about 110 kcal, and with vegetable milk and additives the drink can approach 300 kcal. Therefore, it can hinder the maintenance of a caloric deficit. Caffeine can cause nervousness, insomnia or accelerated heart rate in people with hypersensitivity. In such cases, it is better to choose a decaf version, although it loses the stimulating effect.
Coffee, especially on an empty stomach, can intensify reflux or irritate the stomach. Avocado, although mild, is greasy and can be heavy for some people. There are also avocado allergies, especially in people allergic to latex or tropical fruits.
Do you want to try Avolatte without leaving your home? The drink is about 200-250 kcal. You can adjust the proportions to get a lighter or more creamy version. Here is a simple recipe for one portion:
Ingredients:
- 150 ml of freshly brewed coffee (e.g. from a coffee machine or coffee machine),
- ½ mature avocado (approx. 70 g of pulp),
- 100 ml of vegetable milk (e.g. oat, almond),
- 2-3 ice cubes (optional, for a cold version),
- ½ teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (optional),
- A pinch of cinnamon.
Preparation:
- Bure coffee and set aside to cool.
- In a blender, mix the avocado pulp with vegetable milk, ice and possible honey to a smooth mass.
- Pour the puree into a glass, slowly add coffee, gently stirring.

The Aviolatte taste depends on the proportion and add -ons. Avocado brings a delicate, nutty note that goes well with a bitter coffee profile, especially with beans with a mild taste from South America. Plant milk adds sweets, and the spices emphasize the aroma. The drink can be drunk hot or with ice, depending on the preferences and season.
