Blend until smooth. With the blender running, gradually drop in enough ice to bring the level up to 4 cups. Blend until the ice is pureed.

Use a sharp knife to cut the flesh away from both sides of the large flat pit. Then cut the flesh from the skin. NUTRITIONAL FACTS PER SERVING CALORIES FAT 0.7 G 0.2 G 251.4 CAL
