This smoothie is full of green goodness. I love how hydrating it is and it keeps me feeling full for hours because of the healthy monounsaturated fat from the avocado. There are endless variations on this recipe but this is the one that most often makes its way into our bellies especially when avocados are in season and inexpensive. This recipe makes two large servings.
Ingredients
2-3 cups water, coconut water or non-dairy milk (I normally use just plain filtered water)
1 whole cucumber cut into 4 or 5 pieces (peel if non-organic)
1 avocado scooped from skin
4 leaves of kale, hard stems removed (Collards, swiss chard or other dark leafy greens are also good!)
2 frozen bananas, in chunks
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Stevia, to taste (optional)
4-5 ice cubes (optional)
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy!
