About this smoothie

Avocado and coconut milk make the creamy base, and blackberries bring colour and acidity to balance the richness. The nectarine adds a soft, fragrant sweetness that ties the berries and the avocado together. Blackberries are known for their fibre, avocado for monounsaturated fat.

This is a filling smoothie that can stand in for a light breakfast. In late summer, when blackberries and nectarines are both in season, it is at its best.

Bartender tips

  • Frozen blackberries work well and make it colder.
  • Add a little water if you prefer a thinner drink.

Variations

Blueberry version
Use blueberries instead of blackberries for a sweeter, milder taste.
