250kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup of cold water or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional
- Ice cubes optional
Method
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the blender. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the blender, ensuring no seeds get in.
- Add Liquid and Sweetener: Pour in your choice of liquid (cold water or coconut water). If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Blend: Add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a chilled smoothie. Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add more liquid if you desire a thinner consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or tanginess if needed. If it’s too tart, add more honey or avocado for balance.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Ripe Avocado: Ensure the avocado is ripe for a smooth texture. It should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment by adding other fruits like pineapple, mango, or berries for additional flavor and nutrients.
- Liquid Options: For a tropical twist, try using coconut water instead of regular water. You can also use almond milk or oat milk for a creamier texture.
- Sweeteners: Adjust the sweetness to your liking. You can also substitute honey with stevia or agave for a different sweetening option.
