About this smoothie

Avocado is one of the few fruits that is rich in fat, mostly monounsaturated, which gives smoothies a creamy, filling texture. In many tropical countries sweet avocado drinks are common, so the pairing with banana and coconut is less unusual than it sounds.

Coconut water adds a light sweetness and naturally contains potassium. The smoothie works as a quick breakfast or a filling snack.

Bartender tips

  • The avocado should yield to gentle pressure; hard ones taste bland and blend poorly.
  • A frozen banana makes the smoothie colder and thicker.

Variations

Chocolate avocado
Add 1 tsp cocoa powder and a few drops of vanilla.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a whole avocado?

Yes, but the smoothie will be very rich and thick. Add more coconut water.

Is it vegan?

Yes, all ingredients are plant based.

Can I prepare it ahead?

It is best fresh, because avocado turns brown. Lime juice slows this down a little.
