Why You'll Love This Smoothie

• Super creamy: The frozen avocado and frozen mango makes it extra thick and creamy.
• Packed with nutrients: It's super healthy thanks to the greens and protein powder.

Ingredients and substitutions

• Banana – or another fruit of your choice like mango or pineapple.
• Coconut milk – use almond milk or oat milk instead.
• Frozen avocado – fresh avocado will work but the smoothie won't be as thick.
• Frozen mango – use frozen berries like strawberries instead.
• Baby spinach – kale, chard, beet greens or collard would all be good.
• Vanilla protein powder – use chia seeds or hemp hearts instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fruit mixes well with avocado?

Avocado tastes good with just about any fruit since it has a milder flavour. I personally like to pair it with bananas and mango.

Is this smoothie good for you?

Yes! You'll get healthy fats and potassium from the avocados, lots of nutrients from the spinach, and protein from the protein powder.

Can you make it dairy free?

To make this smoothie dairy-free, swap out the whey protein powder for chia seeds or hemp hearts.
