Recently, a friend of mine has turned me onto avocado smoothies, found at this website. I know, you're thinking that sounds incredibly gross, right? Well, it's not. The avocado makes the smoothie very smooth and creamy without needed ice or ice cream or anything like that. The citrus covers the taste of avocado, and avocado is crazy good for you. Pop in some citrus, coconut milk, and honey/cinnamon/sweet stuff, and you will turn into the healthiest mutant fruit monster ever created.
My friend uses banana, clementines, avocado, cinnamon, honey, and probably other stuff that I can't for the life of me remember. Now, citrus is all fine and dandy, but I want something else, you know?
This is what mine turned out looking like. It really looks a lot like puke. It didn't turn out very thick probably because I put in too much milk and I forgot the banana.
BUT! It's pretty good. I put in half an avocado, two bunches of grapes, two clementines, and squeezed in one lime. Then I put in something between 1/2 cup and 1 cup of coconut milk. I also neglected honey and cinnamon because I was too hungry when I made this to think through all the good stuff I should put in. It's very strong, I put in too much lemon and probably one too many clementines. Still, it's pretty good. I threw it in my one-serving blender and viola! One fruit smoothie that is not so very smooth.
WAIT DON'T LEAVE YET.
I made another smoothie that was much more smooth. Half an avocado, one peach (canned), one clementine, about two handfuls of pineapple tidbits, a banana, some honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Then a dash of coconut milk (just a dash!) and this is what it'll look like.
NOM NOM NOM
Then you blend it til it bleeds smoothie goodness. This one turns out very smooth and creamy and it more-or-less citrusy with a very strong taste of banana. I'll put in half of one next time because I prefer less of that banana taste. Cheers.
