- For the best avocado coconut smoothie, make sure that you pick a just ripened avocado. It should feel slightly soft when you press it, but not mushy.
- The amount of honey or agave nectar you add depends on your personal preference for sweetness. Start with 6 tablespoons and add more if needed.
- To control the sugar content in your smoothie, we recommend using unsweetened coconut milk. It adds a creamy texture without extra sugar.
- Adding baby spinach leaves to your smoothie is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients. You won't even taste it!
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add crushed ice. However, if you like your smoothie more on the liquid side, you can skip it.
- This avocado coconut smoothie is best served immediately. However, if you need to store it for later, place cling wrap directly over the surface to prevent the smoothie from changing color.
