Few smoothies are this green and this mild at the same time. Tender baby spinach and buttery avocado blend into a velvety drink, with just a touch of honey for balance.

5 oz
water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Velvety and mild, grassy green with a faint honey sweetness.
Baby spinach is much milder than mature spinach and almost disappears in a smoothie, while avocado supplies a creamy texture and mostly unsaturated fats. Spinach contains vitamin K and folate. Without any fruit apart from the avocado, this drink is only lightly sweet.
It works well as a light lunch companion or a mid morning glass. For more sweetness, blend in half a banana or a few pieces of pear.
With maple syrup instead of honey, yes.
Only mildly; baby spinach is very gentle.
Yes, frozen leaf spinach works; use about 30 g and skip the ice.
