🥑 Creamy Avocado Lime Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
-
1/2 Medium Avocado: Pitted and peeled (adds that signature velvety texture).
-
1 cup Fresh Spinach: (Or kale, for that vibrant green color).
-
1/2 Lime: Juiced (provides the bright, zesty kick).
-
1 cup Milk of choice: Almond, coconut, or oat milk work beautifully here.
-
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt: For extra protein and creaminess (optional: use coconut yogurt for vegan).
-
1-2 tsp Honey or Maple Syrup: Depending on your preferred sweetness.
-
A handful of Ice Cubes: To keep it chilled and thick.
Instructions
-
Prep the Greens: Place the spinach and lime juice into the blender first.
-
Add the Base: Pour in your milk and yogurt.
-
The Creamy Element: Scoop in the avocado and add your sweetener.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high until the mixture is completely smooth and no green flecks remain.
-
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, toss in the ice and pulse again.
💡 Quick Tips
-
Garnish: Top with a mint leaf or a thin lime wheel like in the photo for that “pro” look.
-
Boost it: A tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp hearts blends in perfectly without changing the flavor.
