Blueberry Avocado Smoothie (ultra rich, creamy, flavorful!)
Servings 2 small smoothies
This blueberry avocado smoothie gets its creaminess from avocado and is a heart-healthy and delicious way to start your day! Easy to make paleo and vegan.
Ingredients
- 1/2 avocado 75 grams of flesh
- 1 cup (140 grams) frozen blueberries wild
- 1 large banana ripe, about 140 grams when peeled
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk of choice + more if needed (use paleo/vegan milk, if desired)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice optional
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients, except the maple syrup, in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add maple syrup, if needed. It can be a bit gritty when the blueberries are still frozen. If it's gritty, continue blending.
Notes
- If you used wild blueberries, your smoothie won't turn brown as it sits over time in the fridge. If you use regular cultivated blueberries and don't drink it all right away, cover the glass with a silicone stretch lid to prevent that the smoothie turns brown. If you don't use something like that, the top of the smoothie may turn brown but you can easily remove that part before giving it to your kids (if they're picky about color).
- You will almost definitely need to add a sweetener if using cultivated blueberries.
