Green smoothies are still one of the most popular smoothie and good reason. Generally they are jam-packed with dietary fibre, which keeps you feeling fuller for longer and naturally regulates your body's cleansing processes. Its also a super tasty and nourishing way to get a big, hearty dose of extra green veggies and meet or supersede your recommended daily intake of greens.
Avocados might not be the first thing you envision in a smoothie but are a wonderful, wholefood addition and give your smoothie substance from healthy fat. Avos are naturally high in protein and potassium, and a great source of fiber and healthy fat. After putting some avocado in a smoothie, you may never make another smoothie without it again!
The trick to using avocado in smoothies is to choose a super ripe fruit. These usually taste less starchy and blend very well into a super creamy texture when combined with other delicious ingredients such a bananas. Always work with fruit that has sat at room temperature versus straight from the fridge. This allows more flavour and better texture from most fresh produce.
