Avocado in a Smoothie?

It may sound odd to add an avocado to a fruit smoothie, but hear me out on this!

Not only does an avocado add fiber and nutrients to the blueberry smoothie, but it gives it a rich, creamy consistency that feels indulgent, while being incredibly good for you!

After one sip, you may start adding avocado to all your smoothie recipes!

Happy Cooking! xo Kristen

Recipe Highlights

Notes on Ingredients

You only need 5 ingredients to make this Creamy Blueberry Smoothie. Below are a few tips to make the best selection.

  • Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries.
  • Bananas: A ripe banana will help to sweeten the smoothie naturally. If using fresh blueberries, opt for frozen banana for a creamy, slushy smoothie. If using frozen blueberries, it is best to use a fresh, not frozen banana.
  • Avocado: For a rich, creamy consistency, along with healthy fats. Be sure your avocado is ripe and soft, so that it will blend up easily into the smoothie.
  • Kale: Be sure to remove the thick stem form the kale before adding to the blender. And feel free to use spinach in it's place or omit both.
  • Milk: Any variety of milk or non-dairy milk.

Tips for Making a Blueberry Smoothie

Making this blueberry smoothie is as simple as adding everything to a blender and blending, but there are three key tips to remember.

  • Add liquid first! Pour the milk of your choice into the blender before adding the remaining ingredients. This will make the smoothie much easier to blend, as the blades will not get stuck on the solid ingredients.
  • Thin as needed. If you find your smoothie is not combing together well or too thick, add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at time, until right consistency is reached.
  • Serve Immediately. This blueberry smoothie is best served immediately, as the ingredients will begin to separate as it sits.

Notes

Milk: Use any variety of milk or non-dairy milk you like. 
Kale: Be sure to remove the hard stem of the kale and chop before adding it to the blender. Feel free to use baby spinach in place of the kale or omit the greens altogether.  
Note on Frozen Fruit: Opt to use either frozen bananas or frozen berries. If both fruits are frozen, the smoothie may become too thick and need thinned out significantly with milk. 
Sweeten: If you like your smoothies on the sweeter side, opt to add in up to 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or honey.

  1. Wow, I'm impressed indeed with how many 'hidden veggies' you've got in this smoothie! I must remember this when I have kids!!! 🙂

  5. Lauren is loving my smoothies with Greek yogurt, strawberries and bananas. She doesn't like blueberries or the blueberry / strawberry blend. Would the strawberries hide the broccoli or do you have another veggie I can sub with Strawberries and bananas? Can't wait to try your recipe.
