I love avocados which is no surprise why I also LOVE avocado banana smoothies. So creamy and satisfying, you honestly won’t taste the avocado or spinach that I use in this green smoothie recipe. I first tried this smoothie at a fancy-schmancy hipster smoothie bar in South Beach, Miami. I watched the handsome 24-year-old greek looking model make it. He measured simple ingredients, all organic and straight from the farm, of course. But I was a bit skeptical. While I knew it would be healthy, I didn’t think it would taste this good. After paying $8.00 and taking my first sip, I was in heaven. Therefore, I knew it would be easy to replicate the recipe at home.
I asked him for the ingredients and made a mental note. Avocado smoothies for me, and now you, all season long!
Because this smoothie uses simple and healthy ingredients, it tastes so refreshing and is satisfying. I drink this as a meal replacement which helps for weight loss. Also, it’s a great option to get in extra fruits and veggies I don’t always get from my diet. To really enjoy all the flavors, make sure you pulse and blend until smooth and enjoy it while the smoothie is fresh.
So, try this smoothie and add it to your list of green smoothie go-tos for healthy meal replacements.
Enjoy!
