Avocado brings a texture close to a milkshake without any milk, and raspberries paint it a soft, dusty pink. A little honey rounds off their tartness.

Simple Avocado Raspberry Smoothie
Silky and creamy, with a bright raspberry tartness and a subtle, buttery background.
Avocado is rarely the flavor in a smoothie; it is the texture. Its soft flesh contains mostly unsaturated fat, which gives the drink a silky body and makes it more filling. Raspberries take the lead in taste with their bright, slightly sour aroma, and they are a good source of fiber.
The original recipe used a full avocado per glass, which is heavy, so here half an avocado does the job. Because avocado has almost no sweetness, a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup is worth adding. Drink it straight away, as avocado darkens with time.
Only faintly. The avocado mainly gives creaminess; the raspberries dominate the flavor.
It is best fresh, as avocado oxidizes and turns brownish after a few hours.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey.
