Total Time: 5

Servings:

A simple, delicious, nourishing smoothie. The avocado adds a beautiful silky texture as well as filling good fats and loads of nutrition.

Ingredients

1 cup/s pineapple (approx) or orange, diced
1 banana/s
½ avocado/s
250 ml coconut water (1 cup)
Ice (if required)

Instructions

Blend together in a high speed blender until smooth and creamy.

Store

Leftovers can be frozen into little cups or ice-block moulds for a fast, healthy snack another day.

Notes

Green boost

If you want a green boost, add in a handful of baby spinach (the smoothie in the photo has this). Spinach is pretty flavourless so it hides very well behind most flavours in a smoothie. Fresh mint is also lovely with this flavour combo.

Change the colour

Add raspberries to turn it pink.

Boost the protein

Stir through your favourite protein powder. I love using this collagen protein—it’s flavourless, so it works beautifully across all kinds of recipes without altering the taste.

Coconut-free

Replace the coconut water with a nut milk.
