Tip
If you are looking for tips to make your kale smoothie with avocado even better, you have come to the right place.
Tip
For an extra fresh touch, use both frozen avocado and kale. The freezing process turns the water and liquids into ice crystals, which blend perfectly with the other ingredients to create a smooth, creamy texture. Serve immediately to ensure that you and your guest get the coldest and freshest kale smoothie possible.
Tip
It is crucial to use a perfectly ripe avocado to set your smoothie up for success, ensuring the best possible creamy consistency.
Tip
To minimise the strain on your blender when blending frozen fruit and vegetables, start by adding liquids first, then the softer ingredients like avocado, and then finish with the frozen ingredients on top. When blending, start at a low speed and gradually increase until you reach the desired texture.

Creamy texture from ripe avocado
Bring the perfect ripe avocado into your kale smoothie recipe and watch as the smoothie turns into a creamy, satisfying treat. Let each sip of the kale smooth envelop your senses and coat your taste buds with fresh, sweet, and rich flavours. The avocado's naturally creamy consistency serves as the sole ingredient to thicken the texture, playing a crucial role as a binding agent by introducing a velvety smoothness to your drink. As a bonus, the avocado also provides mild, nutty undertones along with the cashew nuts that complement the tartness of lime juice and the sweetness of apple juice.

Fresh and tangy taste with apple juice and lime
A kale smoothie should look as fresh as it tastes. By adding tangy apple juice and lime, you introduce a delightful zing that makes your taste buds sing. These acidic additions help the nuanced flavours of the kale smoothie to blossom, resulting in an even more refreshing beverage. The zest and juice from the lime add a mild citrusy punch that cuts through the richness of the avocado and brightens the entire drink, while the apple juice maintains a sweetness that ensures it does not become overly tart.
Add your own touch
Unleash your creativity by adding or substituting ingredients to customise your smoothie. If you are looking for inspiration, consider our suggestions below, which include a variety of greens, fruits, and more.
Milk adds a creamy texture to the smoothie. When combined with kale and avocado, it creates a smooth, silky consistency and introduces a subtle sweetness without overpowering the other ingredients. However, keep in mind that the white colour of milk might slightly alter the green hues from the avocado and kale. Adding spinach will bring a vibrant colour boost to your already green smoothie.
For sweetness, go with fruits like bananas, which add creaminess and a gentle sweetness to the kale smoothie. Pineapple offers a slightly tangy and exotic touch that also fits perfectly well with the overall flavour profile. Mango, similar to pineapple, provides a sweeter and less tangy taste. To keep the smoothie’s core flavours balanced, we recommend choosing just one fruit.
