Avocados are full of good fats that you want to include in your diet as much as you can. And the endless ways to use this single seeded berry makes it the most favorite fruit for all. I have many variations of avocado smoothie recipe. I use whatever I have in my fridge or whatever I can source easily whenever I plan to make a smoothie with avocados. You can include almost any fruit of your choice.

Today’s recipe is vegan avocado banana smoothie that’s perfect for morning smoothie. You can make this avocado green smoothie for post workout snack too. It hardly takes any time. Just freeze chopped bananas, and just before you want to drink a healthy avocado smoothie you blend the frozen bananas and fresh avocados. Now flavouring this smoothie is completely your choice.  I used fresh amazingly natural sweetened coconut water to blend the smoothie. I didn’t have to add extra sweet as coconut water along with the sweetness in banana was just perfect.

I wish I could do good things like this more often, I mean I could drink this avocado breakfast smoothie every morning. I took a small break from my workout sessions. I love my workout sessions and I follow it religiously! A group of us,  like minded people formed a group and we workout together. It is so much fun that way and it also helps us keep our motivation and energy up through out the session.

 

After a break I’m back to work out sessions and getting back to eating healthy and balanced diet. I’m a true South India by heart and tummy. I looooove my rice and literally cannot live without it. I started reducing the quantity of rice(by 50%) I intake a day and substitute it with veggies, fruits and protein rich diet. I don’t really believe in starving myself in name of diet, but I realized eating protein rich food, and a balanced diet will do wonders to you and your body. I also indulge in my favorite food once a week.

Can you freeze avocado?

Yes and No! I’ve had mixed results with freezing avocados. So it’s going to be a little confusion here. I tried freezing perfect ripe avocados cut into half and lime juice drizzled over the surface. The color of some of the avocados did turn black inspite of lime juice! The texture is what my concern was. I did not like the texture of frozen avocados. So it’s a NO.

YES – I did read something that you can puree avocados and drizzle with lime juice then store in freezer. But I never even went on to experiment this method, this freezer avocados may work for guacomole and for smoothies. I was put off with the texture of frozen avocados on the first go, I decided not to freeze avocados. You can try this though, but I can’t give any inputs or feedback though.

I love to use fresh cut avocados as much as I can. So for this smoothie I did not freeze avocadas.
