The avocado smoothie is a relatively recent invention, but it has quickly become a popular breakfast and snack option. It's thought to have originated in California in the early 2000s, and it has since spread to all corners of the globe. There are many different variations on the avocado smoothie, but the basic ingredients are always the same: avocado, frozen fruit, and liquid. The most common liquid used is milk, but you can also use water, juice, or yogurt. I like to use almond milk in my avocado smoothies because it adds a bit of creaminess and nutty flavor. This recipe is for a classic avocado smoothie. It's made with avocado, blueberries, strawberries, spinach, almond yogurt, water, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. It's a delicious and nutritious way to start your day!
