This is my favorite all time smoothie recipe. Blueberry Avocado and Spinach Superfood Smoothie is the perfect recipe to help fight inflammation and give you an energy boost when you need it.
This recipe has all that you need for recovery. Loaded with super foods to help fight inflammation, and immune support ingredients. This smoothie also gives you an energy boost when you need it. I like to enjoy this recipe on those afternoons when I seem to be hitting the exhaustion wall.
Why this mix of ingredients works to help your whole body.
Avocado is a healthy fat that gives your body potassium to heal inflammation as well as Vitamins C, B and E.
Blueberries are great for your bones, skin, heart and mental health. Chocked full of beta-carotene, folate and 1 cup of blueberries will give you 24% of your recommended Vitamin C.
Spinach is great for improving your blood glucose as well as digestion. Loaded with Iron, Calcium and Magnesium.

Delicious! Love the addition of cinnamon, makes it taste like a “treat”! Fits perfectly in my NutriBullet too! Thanks, great recipe!
Full marks!
Absolutely delicious!
Having just recently turned my eating habits around and buying a vitamix blender my partner and I were delight to find this delicious recipe that is infinitely tastier than than my old/unhealthy breakfasts. We both also find it makes you feel better/brighter/more energetic for the morning (we mix it with chocolate pro max lean protein powder).
I would unreservedly recommend people try making this smoothie. It is a trusted staple for us now.
Hi Caroline, Thank you so much for sharing your opinion on my smoothie. It is definitely a great way to start the morning, or to enjoy after a workout. Enjoy your vitamix, and keep up the healthy eating. xo Amy
Really yummy! Love the coconut milk and avocado in there. I didn’t have any seeds or protein powder, but it’s still tasty.
It tastes great and I will definitely make it again. I halved the recipe for the sake of calories. Only issue I ran into was needing to add more almond milk as the blender would blend it. But it worked out great! Light and refreshing!
OMG!!!!! this is truly awesome!!!! I am drinking slowly so as to savor!!!!
I just made this because I was looking for a creamy smoothie with avocado for my cleanse I am doing and it is AMAZING! I get that some people have to make adjustments to the original but then you really cant comment on said original one because they changed it…the only change I made was using Vanilla Almond milk because I didnt have coconut and halving the recipe as I wanted to cut the 450 calories. One of my favorite smoothies!
zlmom,
Glad to hear you like the smoothie, it is amazing how good it is. That avocado makes it so smooth and delicious. Yes, anytime you change the ingredients in a recipe, the results change. Cause and Effect. xo Amy
I left out the chia seeds and protein powder because I did not have them available. This is the best smoothie I’ve ever had. It’s my first one with spinach. I also think the cinnamon just makes it delicious. Will need to start following your blog. Thanks for the recipe.
Nora,
So glad you like the smoothie, leaving out the chia seeds will not change the taste, as chia seeds are flavorless, just a great source of omega. FYI, you can pretty much add spinach to most smoothies, without a negative taste, the spinach is great with banana and strawberry smoothies too. Thanks for commenting. Amy
Hi there. This was my first avo smoothie and loved it. I also added apple peeled and cored by accident and its just as yum! Mine was also greyish prob because I blended the spinach and apple first before adding the remaining ingredients. Will definitely Krupp this one on probably as a lunch alternative at work at the desk!
just a nod to the person who didn’t like the smoothie. WHICH blender you use DOES make a difference. I have a high powered blender now (vitamix, but I imagine Blendtec or the like would deliver a similiar consistency), and it puts all other blenders I had previously to shame. Seriously. It’s the difference between pulverized juice and a consistency that reminds me of already-chewed-for-you-spinach . . . that could easily explain why someone would use such a passionate word as “gross.” I liked it. Obviously not as sweet as if you omitted the spinach, but it doesn’t bother me . . and my kids drank it too. That’s as good as it gets! :-d
