Apple Avocado Smoothie
How creative do you get with your smoothies? I will admit, I love trying new varieties and there isn’t many that I have tried that I don’t like. Smoothies are an easy and delicious way to bring more fruits, vegetables, and other good stuff into your diet that you normally wouldn’t eat on a daily basis. I mean how many days can you say that you had carrots, cucumbers, some greens and some fruit all before lunch? Well, that’s what a smoothie is all about.
Be warned, too many fruits mean that you are just drinking a glass of sugar. A blender full of all vegetables may not have the flavor that will have you making it again tomorrow. I like to make my smoothies with at a 50/50 mix of fruits and vegetables and then I can add in my greens and spices. I have been adding cinnamon and turmeric lately as they are both really good for us…and when you just add a small amount, you don’t taste them much at all in your smoothie.
Today, I am sharing my Apple Avocado Smoothie with you all. We all know that avocados are good for us, they are loaded with those “good fats,” but you have to enjoy them in moderation 😉 I used a half avocado and added in Crunch Pak Green Tart Apples. I figured the apples would add a sweetness and some great juice, if you have ever added avocado to your smoothie, you know that they make them really creamy and thick, so the apples were the perfect accompaniment. I love using Crunch Pak Apples for their freshness, flavor, and sheer convenience. A bag of Crunch Pak Apples never lasts too long in our house because everyone loves that they can just open the refrigerator and grab a slice or two! Be sure to look for Crunch Pak at your favorite retailers.

I hope you enjoy this Apple Avocado Smoothie as much as I do. It is filled with vitamins, minerals, and all that good stuff that will leave you feeling great.
Here’s why I add Turmeric and Cinnamon to my smoothies:
Turmeric – Soooo many benefits, but one of the main ones is it helps with inflammation.
Cinnamon – Also many benefits, one of my favorites is that it helps increase your metabolism.

This looks really good and it’s so nutritious!
It sure is!!!
I am kind of embarrassed to say I have never tasted an avocado
I am not that creative with my smoothies honestly. I have never put avocado into a smoothie although I love them. I will be giving this a try once I buy some avocados!
Avocados make smoothies very rich and creamy – I definitely recommend trying it!
This looks really tasty!
It is – and healthy too 🙂
It looks really good. Avocados go great in a smoothie.
These look and sound amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I would never have thought of blending apple with avocado. I am curious about how this tastes. Gonna give it a try. Thanks! 🙂
You’re welcome – Enjoy 🙂
IT looks really good i have never tried this thanks for sharing
This sounds really good, I just wish it wasn’t green.
Great recipe, looks so delicious.
Thank you!
thank you for sharing this! i will try this next to my first that i made smoothie for this day.. thanks it will helps..
I like the idea of avocado in smoothie. I would add the cinnamon , but not the turmeirc. I use turmeric on veggies and meats and I also have turmeric capsules.
I have some smoothie recipes with berries and kale that I use but this one certainly looks good with the avocado.
I don’t like bananas so use avocados instead to give the texture and am always on the lookout for new recipes!
I make avacado smoothies all the time, i have never thought of one with apples i will have to try and make this one !
