Green Power Avocado Smoothie
Fuel your day with this creamy, nutrient-packed green smoothie that’s loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and energizing greens.
Ingredients:
½ ripe avocado – Adds creaminess and heart-healthy fats to keep you full longer
1 ripe banana – Naturally sweetens the smoothie and provides potassium for muscle function
1 cup fresh spinach or kale – Rich in iron, vitamins A, C, and K (use baby spinach for a milder taste or kale for an extra nutrient boost)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk – A light, dairy-free base that keeps the smoothie smooth and drinkable
Optional Add-Ins:
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds – for added omega-3s and fiber
½ teaspoon matcha powder – for a gentle caffeine lift
1–2 pitted dates – for natural sweetness if your banana isn’t very ripe
A squeeze of lemon – to brighten the flavor and aid digestion
Ice cubes – for a colder, thicker texture
Instructions:
1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again.
3. Taste and adjust: Add a splash more almond milk for a thinner consistency, or a few ice cubes for a chillier sip.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
