Instructions
Creating the Blueberry Avocado Smoothie is simple when following these easy steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and ensure your avocado is ripe for a creamy texture.
2. Cut the Avocado: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into your blender.
3. Add Blueberries: If you’re using fresh blueberries, rinse them thoroughly. If using frozen, you can add them directly to the blender.
4. Pour in Milk: Add almond milk or your preferred milk substitute. This will help with blending and create a smooth consistency.
5. Optional Sweeteners: If you prefer a sweeter taste, add honey, maple syrup, or even a pinch of stevia.
6. Add Seeds and Vanilla: For added nutrition, toss in chia seeds and vanilla extract, both of which will enhance the flavor and health benefits.
7. Blend: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You can add ice cubes at this point for a thicker texture.
8. Taste Test: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or milk content to your preference.
9. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass, and enjoy its vibrant color and nourishing qualities!
The simplicity of these steps makes it easy to enjoy a nutritious smoothie on even the busiest days.
