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!

I’m curious to try this smoothie.
Looks creamy, delicious and healthy! I’m craving something green… this looks perfect!
I WONDER HOW THE AVOCADO TASTES WITH ALL THE OTHER STUFF
Hubby loved it,I found it ok
Looks super healthy but not sure if I could drink it??!! Maybe I will make one for my husband to try!! lol
Thanks for sharing. Will try it out soon!
I love smoothies, but have to admit I’ve never had a green one, simply because I usually don’t like the way it looks, but this actually looks good and I’m going to give it a try!
