Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-fat coconut milk - see notes
  • 1 frozen banana - sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ½ cup frozen mango chunks
  • ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 ripe avocado - peeled and pitted
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey - or maple syrup for vegan), to taste
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder - optional

Instructions

  • Add the coconut milk to a high-speed blender first to help everything blend smoothly.
  • Add the spinach, frozen banana, frozen mango, and frozen pineapple.
  • Scoop in the avocado, then add lime juice (if using) and honey or maple syrup.
  • Blend on high until completely creamy and no spinach flecks remain, about 45 to 75 seconds depending on your blender.
  • Taste and adjust. Add more sweetener if needed, or a splash more coconut milk to thin.
  • If using vanilla protein powder, add it last and blend again for 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Pour into two glasses and serve right away.

Notes

Coconut milk: Low-fat canned coconut milk gives a creamy texture without being too heavy. Full-fat canned coconut milk or coconut cream makes a richer smoothie and is especially great if you plan to freeze the mixture into popsicles.
Lime juice: Optional, but it brightens the smoothie and balances the avocado and coconut milk.
Sweetener: Honey adds gentle sweetness. For a vegan avocado smoothie, use maple syrup.
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If needed, store covered in the fridge up to 24 hours and re-blend (or shake very well) before serving.
