Avocado Smoothie

Avocado smoothie, a delicious, creamy and healthy breakfast or snack recipe. It’s ready in less than 5 minutes and requires just 4 or 5 ingredients.

Avocado Smoothieavocado smoothie

I have a thing with smoothies. When I went vegan, I made them all the time, so you’ll find lots of smoothie recipes on the blog and we also have an ebook called Simple Vegan Smoothies.

Avocado in a smoothie? That’s what I thought the first time I saw an avocado smoothie on the menu of a local cafeteria, here in Seville. I tried it and I fell in love.

I had only used avocado to make savory recipes, but this delicious ingredient can be used to make all kinds of things, like smoothies and also desserts.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

This is the simplest recipe ever. It only requires 4 ingredients: avocado, banana, milk of your choice and any leafy green you have on hand. Spinach is my favorite, as it has a neutral flavor, so it’s perfect if you’re new making smoothies.

I think this smoothie is so tasty with no sweetener, but if you add 1 or 2 dates, it will taste even better. However, you can use any other sweetener you have on hand.

There are so many ingredients you can add to make your avocado smoothie even more nutritious, like other fruits (berries are a good choice), vegan protein powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, cocoa powder, superfoods, and the list goes on and on!

Avocado Smoothie

what ingredients do you need to make avocado smoothie?

  • Avocado.
  • Banana – If you add your banana frozen, the smoothie will be creamier. I prefer to use a regular banana, as I don’t like my smoothie so cold.
  • Spinach – I added fresh spinach, but frozen is okay as well. Any other leafy greens are a good choice (fresh or frozen).
  • Milk – I used homemade almond milk, but feel free to add any other milk of your choice. I prefer to use unsweetened milk and add 1 or 2 dates or any other sweetener if needed, but it’s up to you.
  • Medjool dates – If you can’t find Medjool dates, you can also use Deglet Nour date or any other type, but keep in mind you’ll need to add 2 to 4 dates instead. Any other sweetener will do.

tips for making avocado smoothie

  • If you want your smoothie really cold, use a frozen banana and also add some ice cubes if needed.
  • Feel free to use other liquid instead of milk, like coconut water, regular water or even juice.
  • Add any fruits you want, or even other ingredients like superfoods, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, vegan protein powder, ground ginger, nuts, seeds, etc.

    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.
