Smoothie
A creamy, unexpectedly decadent green smoothie that tastes like a treat while charging your batteries.
If you think green smoothies taste like grass, this recipe is here to completely change your mind. By pairing the rich, buttery texture of avocado with a naturally sweet banana and crisp spinach, we create a velvet-smooth base. Adding a slice of fresh, peeled lime cuts through the richness beautifully, while a splash of milk adds a comforting, creamy finish. It’s the ultimate morning fuel for sustained, jitter-free stamina.
Pour the milk and water directly into the base of your blender.
Toss in the spinach leaves first. Blending the greens with the liquid first ensures a perfectly smooth texture without any stray leafy bits floating around.
Slice the peel away from your lime segment, pop out any seeds, and drop the 20g of whole lime flesh into the blender. Add your sliced banana and scooped avocado flesh right on top.
Secure the lid and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds. Because whole lime segments have slightly tougher internal membranes than juice, let it run a full minute until the mixture transforms into a brilliant, completely uniform pastel green velvet. Pour and enjoy!
