• Baby Spinach
• Avocado
• Coconut Milk or Unsweetened Almond Milk  
• Honey or Maple Syrup (I prefer raw unfiltered Honey HERE)
• Vanilla Protein Powder (this is the one that I use and love: HERE)
• Lemon
• Chia Seeds  
• Ice
• Blender

Coconut milk offers high quality healthy fats yo your spinach and avocado smoothie. It also adds a delicious creaminess. If you aren’t a fan of coconut, then almond milk is another great milk option.

Protein powder is optional, and comes down to personal preference. Personally, I am a fan of adding protein to my healthy avocado green smoothie.

How to Make an Avocado Spinach Smoothie

There are so many options when making smoothies with avocado, so make sure to try different variations each time and find the one that you love the best.

For this particular avocado green smoothie, you will need to first gather your ingredients. There is nothing like having your heart set on a recipe and then realizing that you don’t have everything you need. But we adapt, overcome and smoothie on. 😉

First, in a high speed blender, combine the coconut milk, or almond milk, the raw baby spinach, avocado, raw honey, lemon juice and protein powder (if using).

I can’t remember the last time I ever made a smoothie without protein powder. This is the protein powder that I use lately, and I love it. Its a plant based, organic protein powder. Protein powder.

Then blend on high for 30 seconds or until smooth. Add ice cubes to the spinach and avocado smoothie and blend a little more.

Pour the healthy avocado green smoothie into your favorite glass. Sprinkle with a teaspoon of chia seeds and serve immediately.

This green smoothie recipe makes 2 servings so you can share with a friend.  

Notes and Recipe Variations

• Because the avocado oxidizes quickly, it is best consumed immediately. If stored, it might darken a bit, but it will still be delicious. If you don’t plan to drink your spinach avocado smoothie right away then I would suggest you keep it in a Yeti tumbler. The Yeti keeps drinks super cold or hot for a very long time.
• Any frozen fruit like frozen pineapple, mangoes or peaches can also be added to this smoothie. If you choose to add another fruit, make sure to reduce the amount of sweetener (honey or syrup) and ice a little bit.
• You can also garnish with a sliced lemon.
