Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 tbsp flaxseeds
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by washing the blueberries thoroughly if using fresh berries. If using frozen blueberries, remove them from the freezer to slightly thaw.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender using a spoon. Ensure the avocado is ripe and soft for best texture.
- Add the blueberries to the blender, measuring out exactly one cup. If using frozen blueberries, they will help create a creamier, chilled smoothie.
- Pour the unsweetened almond milk into the blender. For a creamier consistency, use cold almond milk straight from the refrigerator.
- If desired, add the honey or agave syrup for a touch of sweetness. This step is optional and can be skipped for a completely sugar-free version.
- Measure and add the flaxseeds to the blender. Flaxseeds will provide additional nutrition and a subtle nutty flavor.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Pause and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more honey or almond milk if desired.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally. For an extra touch, garnish with a few whole blueberries or a sprinkle of flaxseeds.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefits. The smoothie can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast or healthy snack.
Tips
- • Choose a ripe avocado - it should yield slightly when gently pressed to ensure maximum creaminess. • For an extra cold smoothie, freeze your blueberries beforehand or use ice cubes. • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more almond milk. • Experiment with toppings like chia seeds, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and nutrition. • Use a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture. • For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder. • Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
