Ingredients
1 large, just ripened avocado
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup plain, unsweetened yogurt, coconut yogurt is a great choice
4 tbsp raw honey, you can adjust depending on your desired sweetness
1½ cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup baby or small spinach leaves
½ – ¾ cup crushed ice, optional
Method
Combine all ingredients except ice in blender and then blend until it’s nice and smooth.
If desired, add crushed ice and blend until desired smoothness is achieved. Serve immediately or chill to serve later.
If serving later, place cling wrap directly over surface of smoothie to prevent any possible colour change from the avocado being exposed to air.
