How to make an avocado smoothie - Step by step
- Add all the ingredients to a blender (photo 1) and blend until smooth (photo 2).
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Pro tips
- If you want your smoothie really cold, add your banana frozen as well as some ice cubes. It will also be creamier.
- You can either use fresh or frozen spinach.
- Replace Medjool Dates with Deglet Nour dates if you can’t find them. In that case, you’ll have to add 2-4 dates instead.
- Feel free to incorporate other ingredients to make this smoothie perfect for you.
Will this avocado smoothie turn brown?
Avocados get brown when exposed to air - it is a natural chemical reaction. However, this does not mean they’re going bad or turning rancid, so even if the smoothie gets a little brown, it will still have the same properties as it would if it were totally green.
Can I make this avocado smoothie without milk?
You could substitute the milk for juice, coconut water or regular water. Although I used homemade almond milk, if you don’t like it feel free to use any other kind of plant milk.
How long will this avocado smoothie last?
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and it will last for 1-2 days in the fridge. Make sure to drink it while it’s still fresh so it keeps all its properties.

hola! He reparado que todos los blogs veganos usáis ese tipo de tarros de cristal, donde los conseguís?
Iosune says
Hola Patricia! En Amazon o en algunas webs que la venden, como la de Mason Jar Spain. Un saludo!
Patrícia says
Actually in Brazil is very common to drink avocado blend with milk. they usually use dairy but in this case any non dairy milk will do it. With just those 2 ingredients is still very nice.
Iosune says
Hi Patricia! Sounds great 🙂 I'll try it with some plant milk. Thanks!
Kelsey says
