Ingredients for avocado and honey green smoothie

To make this avocado and honey green smoothie, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that you can get at almost any grocery store or even online!

Here’s what we are working with:

• ripe avocado: if you like your smoothies extra creamy, avocado is a wonderful addition. Not only does it help enhance the color of this green smoothie but it also provides healthy fats, potassium, fiber and plenty of B vitamins. It has a very neutral taste in smoothies due to the other flavors so it brings all the cream and goes down like a dream!
• green apple: the crisp! It’s all about the fresh, crisp flavor notes that green apples bring to a green smoothie party. It’s subtle enough yet gives it that extra freshness boost. Green apples are a rich source of fiber that promote the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut, helping you break down foods more efficiently.
• organic fresh spinach: spinach is such a great veggie to add to any smoothie. If you’re looking to get more greens in your smoothie, adding a few cups of spinach is the perfect way to do so! If you’re not quite sold on the spinach, cauliflower works extremely well.
• lemon: if you want a little taste of sunshine in your green smoothie, adding fresh lemon juice is the best way to give you an extra boost of fresh and citrusy flavor notes.
• fresh ginger: adds a fragrant zest and comes along with many health benefits. In my mind, ginger and lemon go hand-in-hand; a dynamic duo in the world of green smoothies.
• almond milk (or milk of choice): feel free to use any milk you’d like in your green smoothie according to your dietary preferences. I like to use almond milk because it tends to have a neutral taste in smoothies, but also enjoy coconut milk which adds a more tropical and creamy flavor.
• honey: to round up this green smoothie winner, I like to add a little honey to enhance all of the other flavors in the smoothie. Honey makes all ingredients shine to their fullest potential. Honey is super rich in antioxidants and better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. It’s such a great add-in to any green smoothie recipe
• vanilla protein powder: completely optional but so good for an extra protein boost that will keep you fuller longer.
