Avocado, mint and coconut water sounds minimal, and it is. The result is cool, silky and much less sweet than most smoothies, a good choice on a hot day.

Avocado Mint Smoothie with Coconut Water
Silky and cool, only lightly sweet, with a clear mint note and a gentle nutty finish from the avocado.
Most smoothies rely on sweet fruit, but this one is built on texture. Avocado gives body and a buttery mouthfeel and is known for its monounsaturated fat. Coconut water is light and slightly sweet, and it contains potassium, which is why it is popular after exercise.
Fresh mint keeps the glass cool and clean on the palate. Because the recipe contains no fruit sugar apart from the coconut water, taste it before serving and add a little agave or lime if you want more balance. It works as a light snack on warm afternoons.
Only slightly. Coconut water brings mild sweetness; add agave syrup or banana if you want more.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Leave the stone in, drizzle the flesh with lime juice and keep it wrapped in the fridge for the next day.
