Creamy Avocado Protein Smoothie—Vegan and Gluten-Free

This delicious vegan avocado protein smoothie rocks one of nature’s healthiest fruits.

---

It wasn’t long ago that Dr. David Sinclair, longevity guru, said that if he had to pick a single fruit, it’d probably be avocados. They’re up there with blueberries and dark leafy greens when it comes to antioxidants. 🥑

They’re also super easy to load—from guacamole and avocado toast to this tasty vegan smoothie recipe—which, by the way, packs protein powder, vitamins, minerals, and tons of nutrients.

It’s also worth noting that avocados are a top ‘methylation food‘—meaning powerhouse plant stars that boost anti-aging and more (read up on it here).

Here’s what they stack:

Avocado Nutrients

• Antioxidants.
• Phytochemicals.
• Phenols.
• Flavonoids.
• Carotenoids.

Vegan Avocado Protein Smoothie

Avocados are one of nature’s healthiest fruits, and one of the best ways to tap them, according to Nutritionfacts.org, is to nick and peel:

“Cut the avocado in half lengthwise around the seed, rotate a quarter-turn, cut lengthwise again to make quarter-avocado segments, separate the quarters, remove the seed, and, finally, starting from the tip, nick and carefully peel each segment, so as not to lose that nutrient-rich, darkest green flesh immediately under the skin.“

Here’s what you’ll need (full recipe below):

Equipment

• Blender.
• Flatware/cutlery.
• Cutting board.
• Measuring cups.
• Measuring spoons
• Knife set.
• Colander.
• Drinking glasses.

Avocados pack up to 50 micrograms of vitamin K, 12 mgs of vitamin C, and over 480 mg of potassium—exceeding the amount in a medium-sized banana.

They also stack B vitamins, including riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and folic acid (folate).

Did You Know?

Recent studies show that avocados are what’s called a ‘high PPO plant’—meaning their polyphenol oxidase content can cancel out the absorption of key nutrients in particular foods, such as blackberries, blueberries, cacao, apples, teas, and other plants high in flavan-3-ols, which are polyphenolic substances that can get wiped out.

So if you’re thinking you’d love a smoothie with avocado and chocolate, for instance, or a splash of matcha green tea, the PPO in the avocado will substantially curb its benefits—not ideal.

Instructions

• Add the ingredients in the following order:
• Ice.
• Plant milk.
• Yogurt or ice cream.
• Avocado.
• Vanilla.
• Stevia and salt.
• Protein powder.
• Blend until smooth or to desired consistency.
