Turns out that giving up sugar for 30 days has a side effect: smoothie addiction! The high speed blender doesn’t even make it back into the cupboard around here anymore. One of our favorites is this mesmerizing Avocado Smoothie Recipe.
AVOCADO GREEN SMOOTHIE
1 avocado
1 banana
1 cup pineapple juice (look for 100% NOT from concentrate – Trader Joe’s has some in the fridge section. You might also want to use more juice if your smoothie comes out too thick)
1/3 cup coconut milk (the thicker kind that actually tastes like coconut)
1 big handful of baby spinach
1 tbsp lime juice
Optional additions:
1 tbsp ground flaxseeds or 1 tbsp hemp protein
1 tsp matcha green tea powder
Toss everything in your blender and blend until smooth. Take a moment while your blender is busy blending to drop in to the present moment. Or grab your notebook to make a plan for your day while you drink this delicious avocado smoothie.
