Half an avocado gives this smoothie a velvety texture, the nectarine its sweetness and fragrance. A few mint leaves make it taste cool and fresh.

Creamy and velvety, with sweet nectarine, a mild avocado base and a fresh mint note.
Avocado is a useful smoothie ingredient because it adds creaminess without dairy and has very little taste of its own. Here it carries the juicy, peachy flavour of a ripe nectarine, while mint adds a cool accent. Avocado is known for its monounsaturated fat, nectarines for vitamin C.
With coconut water as the base, the drink remains fairly light despite the avocado. It works as a summer breakfast or a filling snack.
Hardly; avocado mainly adds creaminess.
Yes, a ripe peach works just as well.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
