Notes
This recipe is for 2 servings of avocado green smoothie.
If you'd like to add a touch of sweetness, try a few drops of stevia or a tiny bit of honey.
You can substitute the greens used with whatever you like (or have on hand).
Don't halve the recipe, you need enough volume in the blender to get the smooth consistency. If you only want one serving, I recommend making both servings and then refrigerating one for later.
This smoothie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
