June 4, 2018 By Colleen Leave a Comment

I'd love it if you'd share this post:

Are you looking for an easy yet healthy breakfast?  I’ve got you covered.  This Avocado Spinach Smoothie is quick, nutritious and yummy.  Did you know that avocados may even help you lose weight!  Yes, you read that right, lose weight.  A recent study found that people eating avocado felt 23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the next 5 hours!

Avocado Spinach Smoothie Gluten and Dairy Free

Because the avocado oxidizes quickly, this drink is best consumed right away. If stored, it might darken a bit, but it will still be delicious. Any frozen fruit like frozen pineapple, mangoes or peaches can also be added to this smoothie. In that case, reduce the amount of sweetener and the ice a little bit.

Healthline.com  tells us that Avocados have the health benefits of:

  • more potassium than bananas
  • having heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids
  • loaded with fiber
  • being able to lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels
  • their fat content helping you absorb plant foods nutrients better
  • high in antioxidants that help eye health
  • helping protect against cancer
  • possibly relieving symptoms of arthritis

So eat avocados!  They have healthy fats and are good for you!   Below you will find photos of ingredients and how we made this smoothie.  Recipe follows the photos.
