5 Easy Avocado Smoothie Recipes You Should Try

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:

1. Place all the ingredients in a blender.
2. 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.

• 2 Avocados
• Orange
• Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon)
• Coconut shavings

Chocolate Chia

 

This mouthwatering, rich and creamy smoothie creation looks a lot like a milkshake. However, it’s a smoothie that’s so clean it would make an ideal breakfast beverage. The combination gives the smoothie this rich, creamy and thick overall texture. As far as the sweet flavour is concerned, there are no added sweeteners. Serves 3 people.

Ingredients:
