💭 Why This Recipe Works
Thick texture: Since you're using frozen fruit, this breakfast smoothie bowl comes out thick and creamy.
Taste: Naturally sweetened with fruit, the green smoothie is sweet and refreshing; it doesn't taste like avocado!
Nourishing: Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, this Whole30 smoothie is perfectly balanced and a great way to start your morning.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Frozen fruit: This is one of the secrets to making a balanced smoothie because it makes the mixture ultra-thick. So, you can use fresh fruit, but the texture won't be as creamy.
- Spinach: Using frozen spinach leaves will make the greens blend into the smoothie more easily.
- Dairy-free milk: Any milk works; we use homemade hemp milk more often than not.
- Collagen powder: One of the cleanest sources of protein, collagen powder is a great way to bump up your intake.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Flavor Variations
Berries: In place of the peaches, try using blackberries or strawberries. Blueberries will give a murkier texture with the psinach but still delicious. You'd also love this Whole30 banana cream, too.
Toppings: The easiest way to vary the flavor is to top the green goddess smoothie bowl with your favorite smoothie bowl toppings. We like homemade high-protein granola the best.
Skip the banana: If you want to make this banana-free and more tropical tasting, replace the banana with frozen mango. Same tasty texture but a nice swap.
How To Make An Avocado Smoothie Bowl
Step 1: Combine the spinach and avocado in the blender before the frozen fruit.
Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients and blend until totally smooth. You may need a tamper to press down the ingredients.
Step 3: Pour it into a bowl and top with granola with cinnamon.
Expert Tips
Add the liquid and soft ingredients to the blender first; this makes it easier for the machine, and it'll end up creamier. It is thick, though, you may need to use a tamper.
Don't add more liquid if you can help it, or it will become more of a smoothie and not a thick, creamy, ice cream bowl.
You can meal prep this dairy-free smoothie bowl by placing all the ingredients except the dairy-free milk in a plastic bag in the freezer. When you need it, bang it on the counter to break it up, pop it in the blender, add the milk, and process.
Use quality collagen powder to reap the most benefits. Know that beef isolate protein powder will work as well, but will void the Whole30 title.
Avocado Smoothie Bowl FAQs
No, an avocado smoothie does not taste as avocado when combined with extra fruit. Avocado tends to take on the taste of the other ingredients in smoothies.
To make smoothie bowls thick and creamy, you'll want to use frozen fruit, specifically frozen bananas and mango,s as they give the best texture.
Yes, you can freeze avocados for smoothies. Make sure to slice them in half, remove the pit and the skin before freezing. To stop them from mushing together, freeze them on a baking tray in a single layer before placing them into a bag. If frozen, know that your food processor will need longer to break the avocado down and make a creamy smoothie.
