This one is for people who like their green smoothies fresh rather than sweet. Lime and kiwi bring a lively sourness, avocado softens it, and spinach deepens the colour.
½
avocado ripe, flesh only
½ oz
lime juice about half a lime
20 g
baby spinach
1
kiwi peeled
6 oz
water
1 tsp
agave syrup to taste (optional)

Avocado Lime Smoothie with Spinach
Creamy and zesty, with tart kiwi and lime over a soft avocado base; only lightly sweet.
Kiwis are well known for their high vitamin C content, and lime juice adds more acidity and aroma. Together they keep the avocado from tasting flat and also slow down its browning, so the colour stays bright. Baby spinach gives the smoothie its deep green. Since there is no banana, the drink is less sweet than most; a teaspoon of agave syrup is there if you need it. A refreshing glass for a warm morning or after sport.
Yes, lemon juice works; it is slightly less aromatic.
Kiwi seeds can taste bitter if blended too long; 45 to 60 seconds is enough.
Yes, sweetened with agave syrup it is fully plant based.
