Avocado Blueberry Smoothie
Velvety and mild, with sweet blueberry, a hint of apple and a soft, buttery body from the avocado.
Avocado is a useful trick for creamy smoothies without milk or yogurt: its flesh blends into a smooth, buttery base and contains mainly monounsaturated fat. Blueberries bring a mild, sweet and slightly tart berry flavour and plenty of colour from their anthocyanins.
Half a red apple adds juiciness and a little sweetness so that the smoothie is balanced without sugar. The result is filling and not too sweet, a good choice for breakfast or as a snack that lasts until the next meal.
No. It mainly adds creaminess; the blueberries and apple carry the flavour.
