Creamy Blueberry Avocado Green Smoothie
Ingredients
-
1/2 ripe avocado (pitted and peeled)
-
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for topping)
-
1 cup fresh spinach or kale (packed)
-
1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for extra creaminess)
-
1 tbsp chia seeds
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: A squeeze of lime juice for brightness
-
Optional: A few ice cubes (if using fresh fruit)
Instructions
1. Combine Ingredients
In a high-speed blender, add the almond milk first (this helps with smooth blending). Follow with the avocado, spinach, blueberries, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
2. Blend
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Assemble
-
Pour the green smoothie into a tall glass.
-
Top with a generous handful of blueberries and a few slices of fresh avocado.
-
For a professional “layered” look like in the photo, you can stir a few extra chia seeds or a blueberry puree swirl into the glass before serving.
4. Serve
Enjoy immediately while cold! This is a great meal replacement or post-workout refresher.
