Instructions
Prepare ingredients
Peel and pit the avocado. If using fresh pineapple, mango, strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, chop them into smaller pieces. Using frozen fruit is recommended for a thicker, colder smoothie without needing extra ice.
Add liquids first
Pour the water into your blender.
Add soft ingredients
Add the avocado and greens to the blender.
Add frozen fruits
Add the pineapple, mango, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to the blender.
Blend
Secure the lid and blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water (1-2 tablespoons at a time) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve
Pour evenly into two glasses and enjoy immediately.
Tips for Success
Adjust Consistency
For a thicker smoothie, use more frozen fruit or less water. For a thinner smoothie, add more water.
Sweetness
Taste the smoothie before serving. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a small amount of agave, maple syrup, or a pitted Medjool date.
Protein Boost
For an extra protein kick, you can add a scoop of your favorite non-dairy protein powder.
Make Ahead (Partial)
You can pre-portion all the frozen fruits and greens into freezer bags for quick smoothie prep throughout the week. Just add the avocado and water when you're ready to blend.
Enjoy your nutrient-packed tropical smoothie!
