Ingredients

1 ripe avocado, pitted and scooped out Ensuring your avocado is ripe is key to achieving that signature creamy texture.
1 cup frozen blueberries Using frozen berries eliminates the need for ice and creates a thicker, colder smoothie.
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2-3 lemons) Fresh lemon juice provides a brighter, more authentic citrus flavor than bottled juice. If you enjoy a stronger lemon taste, you can add a little more.
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk) You can use any milk you prefer, such as oat milk, soy milk, or even dairy milk. Start with this amount and add more if you prefer a thinner consistency.
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup This is where you can customize the sweetness to your liking. Taste the smoothie after blending and add more sweetener if needed.
1 teaspoon lemon zest The zest adds an extra layer of intense lemon aroma and flavor that complements the juice beautifully.
1 scoop vanilla protein powder Optional: If you're looking for a protein boost, add one scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder now. This is a great way to make the smoothie more filling and suitable as a post-workout recovery drink.

Method

Cut your ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into your blender. Ensuring your avocado is ripe is key to achieving that signature creamy texture.

Toss in one cup of frozen blueberries. Using frozen berries eliminates the need for ice and creates a thicker, colder smoothie.

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2-3 lemons)
Pour in half a cup of unsweetened almond milk. You can use any milk you prefer, such as oat milk, soy milk, or even dairy milk. Start with this amount and add more if you prefer a thinner consistency.

1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the smoothie is incredibly smooth and creamy. There should be no chunks of avocado or berries remaining. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds depending on your blender.
Pour the Lemon Blueberry Avocado Smoothie So Creamy into a glass and enjoy it right away for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

The avocado might cause the smoothie to oxidize slightly, leading to a darker color, but the taste will remain largely unaffected. Give it a good shake or a quick re-blend before drinking. For longer storage, you can freeze this smoothie in ice cube trays or freezer-safe bags for up to 2-3 months.
