Green Velvet Smoothie Recipe
The avocado will make a velvety smoothie that is delicious-and on the thicker side. If you prefer a thinner smoothie add 1 cup crushed ice. We did not do this, so you can see the creamy consistency. The freshness of these ingredients will whip together in no time at all in most blenders to create this tasty Green Velvet Smoothie.
Ingredients:
½ a ripe avocado
¾ cup juice or liquid of your choice (we used an orange mango)
2 cups baby organic greens (spinach and baby Swiss Chard)
2 tablespoons raw whole flake coconut
*1 cup of ice, optional (we did not use it)
Instructions:
Split a ripe avocado in half, remove outer peel, pit and place in the bottom of the blender.
Carefully wash your greens and place in the blender, pour in the liquid and top with the coconut.
Our Vitamix put this together in about 30 seconds, process longer if adding ice.
Serve cold and enjoy right away!
