Avocado Raspberry Banana Smoothie
Did you see that…the words AVOCADO and SMOOTHIE together. You may think I am crazy…my mom thought it was a bit weird, but I decided I was going to try it. What did I have to lose right? I mean avocados are extremely good for you, so why not add them to my morning routine?!
I grabbed my avocado, Driscoll’s Raspberries, Chiquita bananas, and carrots at Publix and I was on my way to a new experiment. Avocados in my smoothie 🙂
I add in my ice cubes and coconut water and I was amazed on how well the flavors blended together to a creamy deliciousness!
Here are some of the health benefits to the ingredients I added to this smoothie recipe:
Avocados – Besides being loaded with the “good fat”, they help heart health, lower cholesterol and lower triglycerides. Plus, they make your smoothie extra creamy 🙂
Raspberries – These beautiful berries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. They also have a high concentration of ellagic acid which has been said to help prevent cancer.
Bananas – Besides tasting great, they are loaded with potassium which helps muscles recover and relax, and they have also been known to help you sleep better.
Carrots – The orange powerfood will give you vitamin A and is also linked to preventing cancer, giving you healthier looking skin and aids in digestion.

Avocado Banana Carrot Smoothie
I am always excited to find new smoothie recipes. This sounds really good!
This looks great and so healthy! Can’t wait to try it. Will pass it on to my sister-in-law. She also loves smoothies
I have tried, but I just can’t get next to the avocados and the fruit thing that is os popular now. I do like them in a ‘green’ smoothie with parsley and lemon.
Love smoothies..but never heard of adding avacado,or carrots…nice new recipe
Wow – what an interesting combination of ingredients.
I like banana and strawberry so this should taste pretty good
This is interesting with the avocado. Will have to try it some time
Not a fan of bananas but a huge fan of smoothies so I know I can tweak this to my liking…thanks for sharing via #TBB #FridayShareFest
This sounds wonderful,can’t wait to try.thanks so much for sharing.
this sounds delicious. will have to try it.
I will pin this recipe when I am finished. I love V8 Vegetable Juice and I love fruit smoothies. The thought of the 2 different types mixed together doesn’t usually sit well with me. However after reading your recipe I am going to give it a Chance. It is new one for me and I would love to try it!! Thankyou for sharing!! :0)~~
Great idea for the avocados I just purchased
I would never have thought to combine these ingredients. Should be an interesting taste test!
Great way for those who don’t like avocados to eat them and get all the nutrition.
We eat a lot of smoothies, but my 2 year old refuses to drink them unless I put in a spoonful of cocoa powder and call it a milkshake. Whatever, kid’s eating yogurt and fruit without any sugar added in anywhere so I’ll take it.
Thanks for the recipe, this looks so yummy!
this sounds so good. the grandkids love to make them and then drink them, of cours.
I would love to try this it looks yummy but I have not heard of avocados in a smoothie
It was the 1st time I did it and I was pleasantly surprised 🙂 Be sure to let me know if you try it!
i love smoothies, so I am always looking for new recipes
i’d love to use raspberries from my yard for this!
I’ve never tried an avocado. Besides that, this sounds like a good, healthy drink.
Interesting flavor combo. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
I’m pretty sure I’d make this without the avacado.
I love banana and this sure looks like it be real good
this looks yummy
What an interesting combination of flavors. It is full of good nutrients. I hope it tastes as good as it looks.
I love how it’s really healthy, But I’m unsure about the Avocado, they aren’t my forte’! but I would be willing to give it a try! I always try everything once, sometimes twice!
I think this is a new twist to fruit smoothies. The avocado seed can be saved to grow a plant.
I love a good smoothie and this sounds yummy!
It is 🙂 Enjoy!
this looks so rich and yummy!!!
This looks very refreshing and sounds delicious!
Sounds delicious! I will have to try your recipe soon!
I like smoothies. I also like Raspberries and Bananas; however, I have never thought of putting Avocado in with them. I’ll have to give this a try.
very cool thanks for this
This sounds so good. I can’t wait to try it.
I’ve been on a smoothie kick and this sounds great! I will definitely be trying this.
I didn’t know avocados went with so many things. I am going to have to try it with bananas, it sounds like it may be great.
I love this smoothie recipe, it looks simple and delicious!
