7 Avocado
Smoothies to
Fuel Your Day

Avocados are a versatile, delicious, and limitless fruit. They’re always good for adding some deliciousness to the table, beyond simply the classic chips-‘n-guac (which are always a classic). Avocados are also an awesome base for your next breakfast, lunch, or dinner smoothie.

Nothing is as refreshing as an avocado-green smoothie packed with the superpowers of superfoods. Avocado smoothies are an excellent way to load up on “good,” unsaturated fats and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.
 

 

5-Minute Avocado Smoothie Recipe

This quick, easy recipe is one of our favorite avocado smoothies. All you need is five ingredients and five minutes, and you’ll be ready to sip on a superfood smoothie.

Ingredients:

• 1 Avocado From Mexico, pitted and diced
• 1 c. of milk of choice
• 1/2 c. vanilla yogurt
• 3 tbsp. honey or maple syrup
• A handful of ice cubes (approx. 6-8)

Pro tip: Avocado is a plant-based dieter’s best friend. For a dairy-free avocado smoothie, opt for a plant-based milk and yogurt.

Pre-Prep: For an elevated sipping experience, place your glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour before use. Select the perfect Avocado From Mexico; carefully rinse and dry it. Slowly cut open the avocado and remove the pit. Dicing the avocado will help it blend faster and better. Here’s how to make a good (and safe) slice:

Directions:

1. Place the diced avocado, milk, vanilla yogurt, honey, and ice cubes into the blender. Blend the mixture until smooth, about 30-45 seconds.
2. Stop the blender to check the consistency of the mixture. Use a plastic spatula to scoop the mixture from the sides of the blender to ensure it is well blended. For a thicker texture, blend less; for a thinner consistency, blend longer.
3. Pour the mixture into two chilled glasses. Serve with a reusable straw.
4. Cover the remaining mixture and refrigerate it for up to three days. (If there’s any left!)
