"This rich and creamy avocado smoothie makes good use of those phenomenally delicious detoxifying ingredients, ginger and turmeric. It’s also full of good fats and is high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.
INGREDIENTS
1 avocado
1 cup coconut milk
1 handful of mint leaves, plus extra to garnish
3 tbsp. filtered water, plus extra if needed
½ tsp ground turmeric or 5 mm of turmeric, finely grated
1 tsp ground ginger or 1 cm piece of fresh ginger, finely grated
¼ tsp stevia
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 cup crushed ice
METHOD
Place all the ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender and whiz everything together until smooth (if it’s a bit thick for your liking, loosen it up with a little extra water). Pour into glasses, garnish with extra mint leaves and serve.
THE LOWDOWN
One of the reasons mint is added to this recipe is because it is a great digestion aid, helping us better process and absorb the nutrients we take on board in all the food we eat. It can also soothe the stomach in cases of indigestion, inflammation or discomfort."

Hello,
I love avocado but I can not imagine it in a drink? I would at least try it once.
Happy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!
Check, coconut milk I do have. Avo I´ll have to try. Sadly ALL my herbs and spices died in the heat!
But... another addition to my favs :-) Thank you!
I couldn't have ever imagined 'avocado' and 'smoothie' pressed together. :)
These sure look refreshing Jan...thank you.
Hugs~
Oh how healthy and delicious besides!
Happy Day to you,

I don't like avocado but I wonder if I'd like this with the added ingredients.
Ya de vuelta de las vacaciones, regreso pico a pico a la rutina diaria.
Interesante receta.

Hmmm, very interesting idea for a refreshing drink! Sounds delish! Gotta try one for sure!
I've never had an avocado smoothie, looks wonderful!
Having had never tried avocado, I don't know what I'd think of this.
That does sound good. A meal in a glass.
Sorry just don't like avocados.
That will keep you going all day long.
Thanks, Jan!
I tried avocados once a long time ago. It tasted ... eugh! Maybe I'll try them again. Perhaps hide them in a smoothy.
God bless.
I have been on an avocado kick lately and this looks so good!
I've been making virgin mojitos this summer, and I love avocado, so this sounds like a delicious and refreshing recipe.
Looks and sounds so fresh & delicious!
I have never tried mojitos before...so many thanks for this introduction!
