Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole lemon zest from the whole and juice from half adds a bright, citrusy flavor; fresh lemons are best for taste.
  • 2 cups almond milk acts as a smooth base; you can swap in your favorite plant-based or dairy milk for variety.
  • 2 cups blueberries provide natural sweetness and vibrant color; frozen berries can enhance thickness.
  • 1/2 cup avocado chunks contributes creaminess and healthy fats; fresh or pre-frozen is perfect for great texture.
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess; substitute with dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances the sweetness and flavor; feel free to switch to almond extract if you prefer.
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; flaxseeds can be a good alternative or just omit if needed.
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon infuses warmth and spiciness; adjust to your taste and preference.
  • Ice optional; use for a refreshing chill and to alter the consistency if you're not using frozen fruit.

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Prep Lemon: Begin by washing the lemon thoroughly under cold water. Using a microplane or grater, zest the whole lemon, capturing its fragrant oils. Slice the lemon in half and juice one half, ensuring to remove any seeds. Set the lemon zest and juice aside, ready to brighten up your Blueberry Avocado Smoothie.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, start by pouring in the 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk. Next, add the 2 cups of blueberries followed by the ½ cup of avocado chunks. Then, include the ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Add Seeds and Spice: Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds along with ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon. Ensure everything is well distributed in the blender for an even consistency.
  4. Blend Smoothly: Secure the lid on your blender and blend the mixture on high for about 30-60 seconds. Watch as the ingredients transform into a luscious, creamy blend. If needed, pause to scrape down the sides.
  5. Adjust Consistency: After blending, check the texture. If it's too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again for an additional 15-20 seconds. For added chill, toss in some ice cubes.
  6. Serve: Once your Blueberry Avocado Smoothie reaches the desired consistency, pour it into your favorite glasses. You can enjoy it immediately, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
