Avocado Smoothie Recipe

Let’s jump on the avocado trend. 

Everyone seems to be catching on the past few years to the wonders of the avocado. Avo toast, kale salad massaged with avocado (highly recommended, btw), and even avocado pudding desserts. 

The world is going avo-obsessed. But for good reason, this delish treat adds in healthy fats, and is an excellent source of potassium, folate and fiber, all of which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system. So it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that we’re telling you to put it in your next smoothie. Trust us on this one, you get a delish element of richness, and a thick velvety texture without any heavy ingredients weighing your smoothie down. 

One of the best parts about avocado smoothies is that they are naturally balanced. The healthy fats brought in by a creamy avo balance out with the natural sugars from the fruits to bring you a tasty and nourishing treat. 

These besties (hey, avocados) are cholesterol-free and contain nearly 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, including potassium, folate, and B vitamins. Just one serving of avocado provides eight percent of the daily value for fiber, and they have the least amount of sugar of any fruit. Over 75% of the fat in avocados is the unsaturated heart-healthy kind (AKA good fats).

Avocado smoothies are incredibly versatile and can be customized to whatever flavor you’re feeling of the day. The actual avocado taste is virtually non-existent, giving you a blank canvas of creaminess for whatever smoothie vibe you want to go for. We recommend going fresh or frozen blueberries, cherries, strawberries, apple, cucumber, banana, or pineapple for your next avo smoothie treat. You can also switch it up and go the more savory route with some high quality cacao powder or throwing in a nut or seed butter.
