Easy swaps
- Use one quarter avocado and more ice for a lighter smoothie.
- Replace Greek yogurt with unsweetened soy yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- Use one pitted date instead of banana for a different natural sweetness and a slightly thinner texture.
Mixpert tips
- Use avocado that yields gently to pressure but has no dark, stringy flesh.
- Lime slows browning, but this smoothie still tastes and looks best immediately.
Creamy Avocado Smoothie questions
What does an avocado smoothie taste like?+
Avocado tastes mild and buttery in a smoothie. Banana provides sweetness and lime adds brightness, so the result is creamy rather than savory.
Can I make an avocado smoothie ahead of time?+
It is best fresh. If necessary, refrigerate it in an airtight jar for up to 12 hours and stir before drinking; the color may darken slightly.
