Smoothies are just a fantastic and refreshing beverage. Not only are they really easy to make, but they also allow you to combine some of your favourite ingredients and then blend them into a delicious drink. Below are five easy and healthy avocado smoothie drinks you should try out.
Blueberry banana smoothie
This pretty purple drink by Well Plated is the perfect way to start getting into the
avocado smoothie space for first-timers. Thanks to the banana and blueberries, it’s
both fruity and sweet. However, the drink is filled with healthy, rich fats, which is in
large part due to the ground flaxseeds and, of course, the avocado itself. The recipe
even calls for some spinach. Serves 3 people.
Ingredients:
- Fresh spinach (one cup)
- Ripe banana (one)
- Ripe avocado (one)
- Frozen blueberries (2 cups)
- Ground flaxseed (1 tablespoon)
- Cinnamon (teaspoon)
Preparation:
- Place all the ingredients in a blender.
- Blend until smooth
Creamy coconut spinach
There are several other superfoods in this creamy smoothie besides the avocado. It also requires you to add spinach that is loaded with Vitamins A, C, E, K, iron, and protein. This not only makes it super healthy but also gives the smoothie a vibrant green colour which looks tasty. So, if you don’t like eating greens, you should definitely try this recipe. Serves 4 people.
