Taste
Thick and velvety with bright pineapple acidity and a mild, nutty avocado finish.
About this smoothie
Avocado is a fruit that contributes fat rather than sugar, mostly the monounsaturated kind, and gives smoothies a rich, velvety body. Pineapple balances that richness with fresh acidity and sweetness. Cooled fruit tea instead of water adds aroma without extra calories.
Because of the avocado this smoothie is fairly filling and works well as a quick breakfast. Drink it soon after blending, as avocado darkens over time.
Bartender tips
If it is too thick, add tea or water in small splashes.
A squeeze of lime keeps the colour fresher for longer.
Variations
With banana
Add half a banana for extra sweetness and an even thicker texture.
Frequently asked questions
Is this smoothie vegan?
Yes, avocado, pineapple and fruit tea are all plant based.
Does avocado taste strong in it?
No. It mainly adds creaminess; the pineapple dominates the flavour.
Can I prepare it in advance?
It is best fresh because avocado browns. Keep it airtight and cold for a few hours at most.
