Ahoy!
So remember when I told you guys about my new favourite smoothie ingredient? The one I couldn’t get enough of and added to the ranks of frozen banana and oats as my must.have.OMG additions? I’m going to guess probably not since that was kind of ages ago, and if you’re anything like me, you can’t even remember what you had for breakfast this morning.
Or maybe you can and it is just me. Awkward.
Anyways! In case you need a refresher, avocado is my new-but-not-so-new-anymore favourite smoothie ingredient, and I’m going to keep bombarding you with avocado smoothies until you give in and try one because this stuff is BOMB.
Fun fact. I didn’t have my first avocado until I was somewhere in my mid-twenties. Maybe 24. Or 25? 24. And I really didn’t like it. It tasted funny and the texture felt off (I know). That and I didn’t quite know what I was supposed to do with it. Like… Instagram wasn’t a thing and no one was taking pictures of their avocado toasts topped with all manner of things, so I literally just took a spoon, scooped some out, and… probably made a face. I look back now and think that I must have been off my rocker for not being instantly smitten with the gloriousness that is avocado, but… maybe it’s an acquired taste. Or something.
Either way! These days I can’t get enough, and if you’re only familiar with putting avocado on your toast or in your guacamole, then I’m going to keep bombarding you with… wait… no… I already said that, didn’t I?
Dammit. I need a new line.
What I’m trying to say is that I really want to convince you to try adding it to your smoothies [at least once] because it’ll rock your socks right off.
And I know it might seem a little strange, but I promise you that you can’t taste the avocado at all. Or at least I can’t. I know different people have different levels of sensitivity on their tastebuds, so if you do pick up a touch of ‘cado and find it disagreeable, just add more fruit.
Because what you’re really after is the texture.
I don’t know what kind of magic this stuff is working, but this goes way beyond creamy – it’s this light, pillowy mousse-i-ness. That’s really the only way I can describe it. Like… it’s thick and creamy, but at the same time light and whipped. Amazing stuff.
AND! Not only that, but avocados give a nice dose of healthy fats and vitamin E, which works wonders for your hair and skin. Pair that with the vitamins in mangos and some extra protein from the Greek yogurt, and you’ve got yourself one healthy smoothie powerhouse that tastes pretty darn good to boot.
Happy eating!

I’ve been looking for good information on this topic but haven’t found anything good until now. You just got a new biggest fan
The protein, good fats, minerals, and antioxidants in this incredibly creamy mango avocado smoothie are in abundance. In addition to being incredibly healthful, it is also very tasty.
It’s so yummy! In the summer,
If you can’t cut an avocado open without slicing your hand in the process, you shouldn’t be allowed to handle a knife.
I really enjoyed this smoothie. I used plain Greek yogurt and unsweetened vanilla cashew milk. I subbed two Truvia packets in place of the maple syrup. Although I had a little trouble blending the mixture at first, the final product was wonderfully creamy. I felt like I could taste both the avocado and the mango, but I loved the balance of flavors. I don’t buy avocados often, but I would certainly want to make this again the next time I pick an avocado up at the grocery store.
Well you’ve convinced me to try oats in my smoothie so what’s a little avocado. Maybe one day I’ll get you to try a beet in yours. I swear it’s tasty with some citrus accompaniment. 🙂
Breakfast this morning was a HUGE bowl of banana blueberry oatmeal, and breakfast tomorrow is gonna have to be this smoothie. All that creamy dreaminess!
