AVOCADO SPINACH GREEN SMOOTHIE

Green Smoothie IG

This is by far the best-tasting green smoothie I have ever made. I have made a lot of green smoothies, but this one is perfection. It’s rich, creamy, silky smooth and not to mention refreshing. This is my ideal way to consume avocado asides from having it crushed, seasoned and smothered into a sandwich.

The texture of this smoothie is spot-on, and I’ve got the avocado to thank for that. It makes it creamy and smooth which makes it more enticing to chug down a glass or two.

I am also giving some credit to the spinach in this recipe. Spinach is one of my favorite green vegetables to consume. I use to think it was gross when I was a kid, just from watching the cartoon “Popeye the sailor.” But I was wrong, I think it is certainly one of the great-tasting veggies from the green leafy family. And by the looks of it, every time Popeye gulp down a can of this, he immediately grows a large pair of muscles and gained a lot of energy to efficiently carry out the tasks at hand. Green leafy vegetables are rich in nitrates which aid in boosting energy for those who consume them. It also supports muscle functions which aid tremendously in athletic performance.

 

 

Spinach is rich in fiber and iron and has considerably decent amounts of vitamins and nutrients. Therefore, it provides its fair share of health benefits such as lowering the risk of cancer, enhancing the blood’s function, improving cholesterol, protects eye and heart health as well as many other health benefits. I consider it the star of the show that gives any green smoothie that rich and vibrant green color.

If you don’t like to eat vegetables, then by all means drink them! I implore you to give this smoothie a go. Besides, it’s real easy to make. All you need to do is grab a bunch of spinach (about 2 cups worth), one small avocado, ground flaxseed, vanilla, coconut milk, water and honey for sweetener. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. You can find the recipe below. I personally prefer to use coconut milk in this recipe as it contributes to giving the smoothie a more refreshing taste.

Feel like having a green day? Make this green smoothie and get pumped up with a burst of energy from all that fresh spinach intake. Go out and take on the day and feel happy about it.
