Benefits Of Avocado Blueberry Smoothie

This blueberry kale smoothie with avocado is not only delicious, but it’s also so nutritious. 

It helps boost your energy, it’s filling, and contains heart-healthy fat from the avocado.

Other benefits of this avocado smoothie include:

• Rich in Antioxidants: Blueberries and kale are high in antioxidants.
• Supports Digestive Health: The fiber from avocado, blueberries, and kale promotes healthy digestion and can aid in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.
• Boosts Heart Health: Avocado is a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels and improve heart health.
• Enhances Immune Function: High vitamin C content from kale, blueberries, and lime juice strengthens the immune system.
• Skin Health: Vitamins A and C, particularly from kale and lime juice, contribute to healthy skin by supporting collagen production and offering anti-aging benefits.
• Improves Hydration: The high water content from the ingredients, especially from dairy-free milk and the water content in fruits and vegetables, helps keep you hydrated.
• Energy Boost: This smoothie offers a balanced mix of nutrients and carbohydrates, providing a natural energy boost without the crash associated with high-sugar options.
• May Support Weight Loss: High in fiber and good fats, and low in calories, this smoothie can help keep you fuller for longer, aiding in weight loss efforts.
• Muscle Recovery: The protein from yogurt and the anti-inflammatory properties of the ingredients support muscle recovery, making this smoothie a good post-workout option.

If you love this smoothie as much as I do, I also recommend that you try my avocado smoothie for weight loss and my kale kefir blueberry smoothie recipe!

Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes

If you don’t have certain ingredients, or dislike some, here are some amazing alternatives you can use instead in this avocado smoothie:

• Vegan: Use vegan yogurt instead of dairy Greek yogurt. Coconut yogurt is wonderful in this smoothie.
• The Blueberries: Use fresh blueberries instead of frozen blueberries. But if you have available, add a couple of ice cubes.
• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of unsweetened protein powder for extra protein.
• Chocolate: For a chocolate twist, add a tablespoon of cacao or cocoa powder.
• Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by adding a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
