Tips Before Making Your Creamy Avocado Smoothie

Choose Ripe Avocadoes for Creaminess

For the best results in smoothies, always use a fresh avocado that’s perfectly ripe. A ripe avocado blends easily and adds a smooth texture to your drink. To prepare, simply scoop the avocado flesh into your blender along with your other smoothie ingredients. Avocado pairs well with a range of plant-based beverages like almond beverage, coconut beverage, oat beverage, or soy beverage, so you can choose your favourite option for blending.

Pair with Complementary Fruits

Avocado is a versatile base that works well with many fruits. Banana is a classic choice for smoothies, adding both flavour and texture. If you don’t like bananas, mango or blueberry are great alternatives that blend well and taste delicious with creamy avocado. For extra flavour, a splash of vanilla extract can enhance your smoothie. Experiment with different combinations of smoothie ingredients to find your perfect blend.

Can You Use Frozen Avocado?

Yes, you can use frozen avocado to make a smoothie. Frozen avocado gives this smoothie a thick, cool texture and is a convenient option if you want to skip using ice cubes. Just add the frozen avocado directly to your blender with the rest of your smoothie ingredients. Whether you’re making a blueberry avocado smoothie, a chocolate avocado smoothie, or a mango smoothie with the avocado, frozen pieces blend well.

What to Serve with an Avocado Smoothie?

A creamy avocado smoothie recipe pairs well with a variety of toppings and sides. Try serving your smoothie as a smoothie bowl, topped with hemp seeds, chia seeds, or pumpkin seed for added texture.
