Avocado Citrus Smoothie

Remember my protest? This is what it was all about.

Snow coming down at the rate of 1-2 inches per hour seemed as good a time as any to make a pretty tropical tasting drink don’t you think? And since I didn’t have any spirulina on hand, this creamy avocado citrus smoothie came to be.

Doesn’t seeing ripe avocados and lemon slices immediately make you think of summer, flip flops, pools and warmth?

I tried to visualize that with each sip instead of the horror scene unfolding outside my window.

I’m not gonna lie, avocados always remind me of Mexican food too but that wasn’t really the image I was going for here.

For those skeptics on adding avocado to a smoothie, you can’t taste it.

It just gives it a really creamy, smooth texture while slipping in some healthy fats, fiber and of course a fun color.

Our power is back, the snow is melting, life has returned to normal, but I’d still make this avocado smoothie again in a heartbeat.

Try cold avocado soup for another summer-inspired recipe. It’s got a gazpacho vibe but with a creamier consistency.

Have you/would you try avocado in a smoothie?

What’s your favorite smoothie combination?
