Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie Base
  • 1 cup Frozen Pineapple Adds sweetness and tropical flavor; substitute with frozen mango or peaches for a different twist.
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach Provides essential nutrients and vibrant green color; kale or Swiss chard can also be used.
  • 1 whole Ripe Avocado Contributes creaminess and healthy fats; ensure it’s ripe for optimal texture and flavor.
  • 1 medium Frozen Banana Acts as a natural sweetener and thickener; feel free to replace with other frozen fruits.
  • 1 cup Light Coconut Milk Adds richness and a hint of coconut flavor; use canned coconut milk for a thicker consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice Brightens the flavor profile; lemon juice can be substituted if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Lime Zest Enhances lime flavor; optional but recommended for depth.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup Provides sweetness to taste; agave syrup or honey are suitable alternatives.
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt Balances the flavors; can be reduced or omitted as needed.
  • 1 cups Ice Cubes Adjustable for desired thickness; more ice results in a thicker smoothie.
For Extra Protein (Optional)
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Boosts protein content and flavor; can be omitted for a lighter version.

Equipment

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Avocado Smoothie
  1. Start by adding all your ingredients into a high-speed blender. Layer the frozen pineapple, fresh spinach, ripe avocado, frozen banana, and light coconut milk first. Next, squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add the lime zest, maple syrup, sea salt, and ice cubes.
  2. Secure the lid on your blender and pulse on high for 30 to 60 seconds. Watch as the mixture transforms into a silky, creamy blend; you want it to be completely smooth without any chunks.
  3. Once blended, it's time for a taste test! Pour a small amount into a glass and assess the sweetness and consistency. If desired, adjust by adding more maple syrup for sweetness or a splash of coconut milk to loosen it up.
  4. Pour the creamy smoothie into serving glasses, admiring its rich green hue. For an extra touch, consider garnishing with chia seeds and a sprig of fresh mint on top.
