Avocado Apple Smoothie
Mild, creamy and fresh, with a gentle apple sweetness and a soft, nutty background.
This smoothie shows how much texture a single avocado half can give. Blended with water, it becomes silky and thick, while the red apple adds juice and a gentle sweetness. A few drops of lemon juice, optional in the recipe, sharpen the flavor and slow the browning of the avocado.
Avocado contains mostly unsaturated fat, which makes the drink more filling than a pure fruit smoothie. The taste is mild and slightly nutty, closer to a smooth apple purée than to guacamole. It works well as a light breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Only slightly. The apple dominates, while avocado adds creaminess.
Add lemon juice and drink it within an hour or two.
Yes, it contains only fruit, lemon and water.
