Creamy Avocado Mint Smoothie
This smoothie is like a hug in a glass, creamy and refreshing with a hint of mint that brightens my day. I love how simple it is, yet so satisfying!
I remember the first time I made this smoothie on a lazy Sunday morning.
I had some ripe avocados sitting on my counter, and I thought, why not?
The mint from my garden was just begging to be used.
Now, I whip it up whenever I need a quick breakfast or a delightful snack.
Trust me, the combination of avocado and mint is magic!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh mint from my garden, but if you don’t have any, dried mint works too—just use about a teaspoon. The banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess, but feel free to swap it with a medjool date if you prefer that flavor. And, if you're avoiding sugar, the maple syrup can be omitted or replaced with a few drops of stevia.
Tips & Notes
- •If you have leftover avocado, sprinkle some lime juice on it to keep it from browning.
- •I keep my chia seeds in the fridge for freshness—they're packed with nutrients and great for smoothies!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a handful of spinach to sneak in some extra greens without changing the flavor.
- •If I want a little protein boost, I'll throw in a scoop of my favorite plant-based protein powder.
Storage & Freezing
This smoothie is best enjoyed right away, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
I recommend enjoying it fresh for the best flavor and texture, but if you need to prep, you can blend everything except the liquid and store it in the fridge for a few hours. Just add the liquid and blend again when you’re ready to enjoy.
