Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 scoop (vanilla) protein powder
- 1 cup low-fat vanilla greek yogurt/unsweetened almond milk/coconut milk (you can use vanilla yogurt, when not using vanilla protein powder)
- 1 tbsp flax /hemp/sunflower/chia/sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
Instructions
- To make an avocado smoothie, add an avocado, protein powder of your choice and any dairy-free milk (almond milk or coconut milk) or low-fat Greek yogurt, (whichever you prefer) in a high-speed blender. You can also add chia seeds/flax seeds/sunflower seeds or sesame seeds, whichever option you prefer.
- Blend the ingredients together until it becomes thick and creamy. If the consistency is too creamy for your liking, simply add more dairy-free milk to thin it. If you are using yogurt instead, add more of it and a bit of water to thin it. You can add more vanilla protein/ protein to it, to add to the sweetness. If the protein powder you're using is unsweetened, add a tsp of honey to it.
- Once done, divide the smoothie among different serving glasses and enjoy the drink. Ideally, it's best when you have it fresh, but if you choose to have it later, you can refrigerate it.
Notes
Note that if you want a creamier and thicker version of an avocado smoothie, you'll need more avocados. The more the avocados, the thicker and creamier the smoothie!
Avocado blends well with any fruit and vegetable, so you can always add frozen bananas, berries, kale, spinach, mangoes, etc to the recipe above to enhance the flavor.
