Don’t let the look of this smoothie deter you! It looks like a chocolate berry milkshake, but it offers the incredible health benefits that you could never find anywhere near a milkshake. Meet the chocolate avocado berry smoothie, a deliciously creamy blend that packs a seriously nutritional punch! This smoothie combines the rich, nuttiness of homemade almond milk with the refreshing tartness of blackberries. Does this even have spinach? It does, but you cannot taste it, not even for a second. You cannot taste the avocado, either, but it helps make this smoothie creamier than ever, all while providing healthy fats.

Does the small scoop of raw cacao powder scare you? Don’t let the deep, chocolatey richness of cacao steer you away from this smoothie. You won’t taste the subtle bitterness because the banana and maple syrup provide enough natural sweetness. What you end up with is a delightful chocolate flavor that harmonizes perfectly with the buttery texture of ripe avocado. If you want to live dangerously, finish this smoothie with an extra drizzle of maple syrup and dash of raw cacao powder on top. Not only is it highly refreshing and filling, but it also tastes amazing. We hope you love this as much as we do!

Just as you wouldn’t judge a book by its cover, don’t judge a smoothie by the ingredients. We know avocado may seem like a strange smoothie ingredient, but it gives the smoothie an incredibly creamy, rich consistency. The avocado is very flavorless compared to the banana and pineapple, which give the smoothie a tropical sweetness. Try it out and it will most likely become a household favorite!

When it comes to making a smoothie with fresh ingredients, we recommend that you freeze some of them overnight. Frozen bananas and avocados will make your smoothie incredibly creamy and thick. If you simply use fresh ingredients and add ice cubes, the smoothie will taste slightly watered down. Cut up your fresh fruit and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure that the pieces are not touching each other to avoid clumping. Place the fruit in the freezer overnight and then remove in the morning. At that point, you can add fruit straight to the blender, or you can bag the fruit to save for future use.

Although this smoothie contains one teaspoon of grade A maple syrup, you don’t have to include it if you don’t like adding sweeteners. The banana and pineapple offer natural sugars, so you can lay back on the sweetness if you prefer smoothies that are not as sweet. If you prefer the sweetness that dates offer, add a single date to the smoothie and sweeten it that way! We hope you enjoy this highly nutritious creation that will satiate you between meals.

For many people, papaya is a hit or miss fruit. Some people want to love it, but they just don’t know how to pick them or use them properly. Others want nothing to do with them, which is also acceptable. The reality is that papayas can be bitter on their own, especially if you don’t choose ripe fruits. That’s why blending papaya with other ingredients is a great entry point into your culinary journey with these nutritious fruits.

When buying papaya, choose one that has mostly yellow skin if you want to enjoy it right away, or within a couple days. It’s perfectly fine for papayas to have a little green on the skin when you buy them. Fully ripe papayas will be completely yellow on the outside and slightly firm and a little soft to the touch. You don’t want a papaya that is too soft, though. They don’t have a very assertive flavor profile, so you can mask their flavors with other ingredients, for example, the freshly squeezed orange juice, banana, and mango in this smoothie. We didn’t forget about the avocado; rather, avocados don’t take over smoothies, either. They just make smoothies incredibly creamy and even more nutritious.

Papayas are naturally rich in a digestive enzyme called papain. This enzyme, and other digestive enzymes, work to break down the food you eat in order for the body to digest it properly. That process enhances the body’s ability to absorb nutrients during digestion. Papain may also relieve symptoms of digestive discomfort, including constipation, bloating, gas, and more. Lastly, papayas are naturally rich in highly bioavailable beta-carotene and lycopene, two antioxidants that benefit immune, skin, and eye health.

Ready for a nutritionally balanced, zesty, refreshing, and filling smoothie? If yes, then you clicked on the right recipe. Made with eight ingredients, including blueberries, lemon, and avocado, this smoothie is exactly what you want on a hot summer morning. The healthy fats, protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates help to keep you full until your next meal, helping you avoid cravings and unnecessary snacking.

When you make a smoothie, you aim to include macro and micronutrients. Fat, protein, and carbohydrates are the three major macronutrients, and vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants fall under the micronutrient umbrella. The majority of the micronutrients come from the blueberries, lemon, and avocados, but avocados also offer macronutrients. Avocados contain healthy fats, protein, and a small amount of complex carbohydrates, which may help you regulate blood sugar levels.

There are two ways that you can go about making this smoothie. The first way is that you can freeze the avocado pieces and blueberries overnight, and then add them with the rest of the fresh ingredients to a blender. The other option is that you can add all of the ingredients to a blender, blend them up, pour the mixture into a jar, and refrigerate overnight. Your breakfast will be ready to go in the morning. You can also make a larger batch, divide the mixture between several jars, and place them in the freezer. You’ll have smoothies for the week!

What’s the key to a great smoothie? Some say that it has to be packed with protein, while others won’t sip it if it doesn’t contain at least one superfood. Ultimately, the perfect smoothie is a blend of three categories. It has to be wonderfully refreshing, rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals, and the ingredient list should be minimal. The last category isn’t definitive, but fewer ingredients makes it easier when it comes time to blend the smoothie.

This smoothie has a lot of great qualities. You get the healthy fats and protein from the cashew butter and avocado. The spinach offers a healthy dose of iron, vitamin K, and magnesium. The best part is that this smoothie is wonderfully nutty and flavorful. Please don’t think it tastes like freshly cut grass because it doesn’t. We have other recipes like that, but that’s not this one. If you like this smoothie and want to have more recipes like it, please let us know in the comments.

Avocado may not seem like the first ingredient to add to a smoothie, but it is a wonderfully creamy base. It adds a subtle buttery quality, and you don’t even taste it. The reason for this is because the flavors of the other ingredients overpower it. In the case of this smoothie, the crisp cucumber, zesty lime, and herbaceous cilantro command the attention of your taste buds.

Avocado, cucumber, and cilantro, you say? Yes, way! This is not an evil concoction that makes you think of guacamole; rather, it is a refreshing blend of ingredients that nourish the body. It’s perfectly normal to be skeptical, but trust us when we say many people love this recipe. This smoothie offers healthy fats, protein, magnesium, potassium, antioxidants, vitamin C, and more. Start sipping now!
