Spinach, kiwi, avocado smoothie

I remember I didn’t like so much green soups when I was a kid 🙂

Well now, I love them and even make raw green veggies juices and smoothies all the time ! Thank god, we change 🙂

The smoothie recipe I share below is very creamy as it features avocado. It is also super nourishing so I will have it as a meal or after a strong workout session.

It is really a supergreen and superfood smoothie:

avo is loaded in good fat, fibers, vitamin B and C and minerals, spinach is rich in calcium, fibers, vitamins and kiwi is your vitamin booster. Adding protein powder (optional) enriches it with proteins and maca makes it a super energy booster !

Sip it or eat it in a bowl topped with fresh fruits and seeds.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2)

  • 1,5 cups fresh spinach leaves (washed, ideally organic)
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 0,5 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 medium diced ripe avocado
  • 1/2 to 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other nut milk)
  • 1cup ice
  • 1 to 2 tbsp lime
  • 2 tbsp vegan protein powder (optional)
  • 1 to 2 tsp maca powder (brings a nutty flavor)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (if you have a sweet tooth. I did not put any as I added toppings which were sweet enough)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Put all ingredients except the nut milk in your high speed blender (I use my thermomix). Pulse at high speed and add gradually the nut milk until you get the consistency you like
  2. Taste, add more sweetener or lime according to your tastebud.
  3. Drink it or pour it in a pretty bowl topped with your favorite toppings (I used passion fruit, melon and pumkin seeds, tahini and some lime juice)
