Avocado Peach Smoothie
Velvety and mild, with fragrant peach up front and a buttery avocado finish.
Avocado is the secret to creamy smoothies without milk or yogurt. Its flesh is mostly water and monounsaturated fat and has almost no sweetness, so it takes on the flavour of whatever fruit it is blended with. Here that is a ripe peach, fragrant and juicy, plus a banana for sweetness. Half an avocado per glass is plenty. The smoothie is satisfying enough for breakfast and refreshing on a hot afternoon.
