Blueberry Avocado Layered Smoothie

Prep time: 10 minutes | Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • For the Green Layer (Avocado Base):

    • 1/2 ripe avocado

    • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a vegan option)

    • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

    • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

    • A squeeze of lime juice (keeps the color bright)

  • For the Purple Layer (Blueberry Base):

    • 1 cup frozen blueberries

    • 1/2 frozen banana (for extra creaminess)

    • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Layer: Place the avocado, yogurt, almond milk, sweetener, and lime juice into a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture into the bottom half of a glass.

  2. Prepare the Purple Layer: Rinse out your blender container. Add the frozen blueberries, frozen banana, and almond milk. Blend on high until thick and smooth.

  3. Layering Technique: To achieve the “drip” effect, carefully spoon the thick purple mixture on top of the green layer. You can use the back of a spoon to gently push some of the purple mixture down the sides of the glass to create those artistic streaks.

  4. Garnish: Top with a few fresh blueberries and a thin slice of avocado to match the photo. Serve immediately with a straw.

Nutritional Tip: This smoothie is excellent for a balanced breakfast or a post-workout snack. The healthy fats from the avocado help your body absorb the vitamins from the blueberries, while the yogurt provides a boost of protein to keep you satisfied throughout the morning. Enjoy your refreshing, nutrient-dense treat!
