Yellow Pepper Smoothie with Avocado
Creamy and mild, with the sweet, juicy taste of raw pepper and a buttery avocado base.
Yellow and red bell peppers are the sweet, ripe versions of the pepper and are well known for their high vitamin C content. Raw, they taste crisp and juicy, which makes them a good base for a savoury smoothie. Avocado adds creaminess and a buttery note, and a little agave syrup rounds off the flavour.
This is not a sweet fruit smoothie, so think of it as a light, cold savoury drink. It goes well with lunch, or with a pinch of salt and pepper as a quick snack.
Yes, red peppers are just as sweet and make the smoothie orange-red.
Only mildly; it is a savoury smoothie with a natural vegetable sweetness.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
