Have you tried avocado in your smoothies? Here’s an ultra-creamy smoothie recipe made with avocado, pineapple, banana and coconut. Fresh orange and lime juice make it nicely zippy. This smoothie tastes like a tropical treat—make one when you need an island vacation!

I particularly like this vegan smoothie because it’s incredibly creamy and incorporates some healthy fat from the avocado. I like to treat it like dessert and eat it with a spoon.

Hot summer days call for refreshing frozen treats, and this homemade blended option is ready in minutes.

Avocado Smoothie Tips

You’ll find the full recipe below. Here are a few options and substitutions to make it suit your taste buds:

• If you don’t like the flavor of coconut, skip it.
• Add a handful of fresh spinach to the blender for some healthy greens.
• Include the optional ice-cold water if you want a smoothie that’s easier to sip through a straw, or if you have trouble blending the mixture. Omit it for an intensely creamy, sweet and tangy smoothie that is almost like a sorbet or light coconutty sherbet.
• While you could add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to this smoothie, I don’t recommend it. It covers up the bright tropical flavors, and they shine without it. Save the protein powders for a simpler smoothie.

This super creamy avocado smoothie offers bright, tropical flavors, including pineapple, orange, banana and coconut. This recipe yields 2 small smoothies (1 scant cup each) or 1 large; multiply as necessary.

Ingredients

• 1 medium orange, peeled and seeds removed and torn into several pieces, or ½ cup orange juice
• ½ medium ripe avocado
• ½ cup frozen pineapple
• ½ frozen banana, frozen in 1-inch chunks
• ¼ cup ice-cold water (optional; omit for a thicker texture)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice, to taste 
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
• Small pinch of fine salt
• Optional garnishes: 1 lime wedge and shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender in the order listed, starting with the lesser amount of lime juice. Blend on low until the blender gains traction, then ramp up to the highest speed as soon as possible (or use your blender’s smoothie function, if it has one). Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
2. Taste, then add another squeeze of lime juice if you would like more zing, and blend again.
3. Pour into a glass and enjoy promptly. If you want to make it look cute like the pictures, garnish with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of shredded unsweetened coconut.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Happy Healthy Life’s Piña-Vocado Smoothie.

Change it up: You could add a handful of fresh spinach for some added nutrition without significantly impacting the flavor.
