Hey, Shaym here from SoolFood. Want to know the smoothie that turned my partner from a “just coffee” breakfast person into a full-on morning blend convert? This Avocado Berry Smoothie. It started as a recipe I tossed together on a weekend hike trip, one of those “clean out the fridge” blends that turned into gold. We had berries, an avocado that was nearly too soft, and some almond milk. The result? A perfectly tangy, ultra-creamy smoothie that tasted like a berry milkshake, without the sugar crash. Since then, it’s been in heavy rotation at our house.
Why Add Avocado to a Berry Smoothie?
If you’ve never tried avocado in your smoothies, now’s the time. It doesn’t just make the texture insanely creamy. It balances the tartness of the berries and helps keep you full for hours. Avocado is loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber, which support stable blood sugar and healthy digestion.
And then there are the berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pick your mix. They’re packed with antioxidants that support skin health and fight inflammation, plus they naturally sweeten the smoothie without needing added sugars.
Ingredients You’ll Love
This smoothie is as flexible as it is delicious. Here’s my go-to base:
- ½ avocado
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (or fresh + a few ice cubes)
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1 tsp chia or flax seeds (optional, for fiber)
- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
- Squeeze of lemon or lime for a flavor boost
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla or berry protein powder
Blend It Up
Toss everything in your blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk if you like it thinner, or more ice if you want that frozen smoothie bowl vibe. I usually taste and adjust the lemon. It brings out the berry flavor and gives it a bright, refreshing lift.
This Avocado Berry Smoothie is a great choice for breakfast, a midday reset, or even a light dinner if you’re in the mood for something cold and satisfying. And bonus? It looks gorgeous in a clear glass. Pink, purple, and creamy green? Total win.
