Prep Time: 5

Total Time: 5

Serves 2 to 3

This creamy dairy-free avocado smoothie is perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack!

Ingredients

½ cup frozen pineapple
2 cups packed fresh spinach, or 1 cup frozen spinach
1 ripe avocado
1 frozen banana
¾ cup light coconut milk, canned or from a carton
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Pinch sea salt
8 ice cubes
2 scoops vanilla protein powder*, optional

Instructions

Combine the pineapple, spinach, avocado, banana, coconut milk, lime juice and zest, maple syrup, salt, ice, and protein powder, if using, in a blender. Blend until creamy.
Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add more maple syrup. If the consistency is too thick, add more coconut milk, and blend again.

Notes

*I like Aloha Vanilla Plant-Based Protein and Whole Foods French Vanilla Plant Protein.
