Loaded with vitamins, nutrients, and naturally dairy-free & gluten-free, this Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie is the quickest way to fuel you up on busy mornings!
For this Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie, all you need is very simple fresh ingredients:
- nectarines
- mango
- avocado
- spinach
- unsweetened coconut water
What I love most about this energizing concoction, is that is one of the few smoothies out there that doesn't call for banana.
I know some of you don't like bananas, so if you're not a fan, this drink is perfect for you.
Instead of banana, the avocado gives this smoothie its rich, creamy, delightful texture.
Avocado is also the only fruit (yes, it's a fruit!) that contains monounsaturated fat, which is the good fat our bodies need to function properly, and can also lower our bad cholesterol.
Additionally, avocados are also a great source of vitamins, magnesium, and potassium, and are full of fiber.
All the good reasons to eat and drink more avocado! This Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie is also free of refined sugar.
If you're looking for a speedy nutritious breakfast, or drink to fuel you up in the afternoon, look no further.
This Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie is sure to become a favourite - Awesomely sweet, loaded with goodness, it makes the perfect, natural energy drink on the go!

wow this is something new to me!! I do enjoy a nice green smoothie but actually have never used an avocado for this! I'm not sure I'd like it as much but this here looks brilliant as the nectarine would bring a sweetness to it, a great combo!

That looks delicious Andrea! I often use avocado in smoothies as I am trying to cut down the amount of fruit in them. The stevia looks a useful sweetening addition.

This layered smoothie looks delicious! I love that it doesn't have any banana (I love them as well, but don't always have one to use!). The stevia sounds perfect for sweetening it.
