Avocado smoothie recipes are a delicious way to start your morning. Avocados add a rich, creamy consistency to your smoothie, without upping the sugar content, like yogurt or bananas do. Meaning, they’re the perfect smoothie ingredient for those on a Paleo, Whole30, keto or Bulletproof Diet.
Technically a fruit, though more like a vegetable in nutrients, avocado is chock-full of fiber, potassium, vitamin B, and vitamin E, and healthy fats.
Because avocados are high in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, be sure to increase your omega-3s to balance the 6s. Think: salmon, grass-fed beef and butter and eggs. Then you’ll be fine to eat up to a couple of avocados a day. And with the variety of avocado smoothie recipes in this roundup, you’ll have no problem with that.
