This Avocado Smoothie is sweet, creamy, and absolutely beautiful. Full of nutrients, luxurious and so vibrant. It's packed with superfoods and made without added sugars. Fantastic breakfast!
Take the blender and add all ingredients. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
Turn on the blender and mix at high speed until you get a smooth texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until smoothie is smooth.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if you like.
Transfer the smoothie into a smoothie cup.
Add toppings (optional): I used chopped walnuts and bee pollen. Be creative here and add toppings you like.
Notes
Makes 1 cup that serves 1 person as a full meal, or 2 people as a light meal. As a measure, I used a US cup (240ml). Nutrition values are calculated without toppings.Substitutions
You can use any dairy or plant-based milk here.
You can substitute walnuts with any other nuts, or seeds (ground flax seeds, hemp seeds or chia seeds).
You can substitute spinach with fresh kale.
Substitute vanilla with cinnamon.
Smoothie variations
Make it without banana: Banana is added for natural sweetness so if you omit banana you have to add some extra sweetener. See the "Sweetener recommendation" section for my suggestions.
Make it weight-loss friendly: Use only half a banana to cut calories.
Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk. Omit bee pollen as a topping.
Make it keto: Omit banana. Use the whole avocado. Add in 1 teaspoon MCT oil or collagen (optional). Alternatively use ½ cup almond milk and ½ cup coconut cream. Use liquid stevia or any other liquid low-carb sweetener.
Store in a smoothie cup with a lid and keep refrigerated for up to one day. Don't forget to shake or stir it before drinking!
