For this Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie, all you need is very simple fresh ingredients:
nectarines

Wholesome Organic Stevia®, to lightly sweeten things up
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 banana, 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.
Instead, I've used Wholesome Organic Stevia, which is Non-GMO, vegan & kosher.
Unlike most of the commercial chemically derived sweeteners out there, it doesn't contain nasty chemicals and it's 100% organic, it's deliciously sweet but has zero calories. 
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!

Oh My Gosh! I made almost this exact smoothie the other day! Great minds think alike 😉 Although I didn't think to use avocado or to layer it like you have. It looks so pretty and delicious.
Looks so yummy, I blend avocado into literally all my smootie my kids love it!
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!
I would never have thought of putting avocado and nectarine together before, But I am certainly going to try it now! It looks amazing and I bet it tastes it too x
oh i love the colour contrast - not sure i could drink it though as i dont like the texture of smoothies ( i know im strange lol)
I love avocado but have never used it in a smoothie before. Definitely need to give it a try!
That sounds like an interesting recipe and I love that it doesn't need banana. I do love smoothies so need to give this a go.
I'm pretty obsessed with smoothies at the moment so I'll have to give this a go x

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 looks really interesting, I've never had avacado in a smoothie before but would really like to try it.
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.
