Creamy Avocado Berry Smoothie

High Fiber Berry Avocado Smoothie Recipe

Short on time in the morning or just not in the mood for a big breakfast?
This Creamy Avocado Berry Smoothie is a quick, refreshing way to enjoy a variety of plant foods in one delicious drink.
Avocado and frozen zucchini give this smoothie an incredibly creamy texture, while berries, banana, spinach, and almond butter add flavor and nutrition. With 12 grams of fiber per serving, it's a particularly delicious way to add more fiber to your day!
For an even faster morning routine, prep and freeze the zucchini and banana ahead of time. You can even make several smoothie packs at once, so all you have to do is add the ingredients to your blender, blend, and head out the door.
Depending on your overall goals and needs, you might consider rounding out this smoothie with your favorite protein booster. See our suggestions in the note section.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup zucchini chopped and frozen
  • 1/2 banana frozen
  • 1/2 cup berries frozen
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1 Tbs almond butter or alternative
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup almond milk or alternative

Method
 

Prep
  1. While it is not completely necessary to freeze the zucchini and banana, it does yield a creamier smoothie.
Make
  1. Add all ingredients to blender and process until creamy.

Notes

If you are making this a meal, we highly recommend adding a protein source such as the following:
  •  1 scoop protein powder (whey, pea, soy, etc.)
  •  Silken tofu
  • Fairlife milk or ultra-filtered milk instead of almond milk
  •  ¾–1 cup Greek yogurt
  •  ¾ cup cottage cheese (blends surprisingly smooth!)
Some of these additions might require slightly adjusting the liquid to achieve the right consistency.
Reminder: Nut butters are nutritious, but they aren’t a significant source of protein. One tablespoon typically provides only about 3–4 grams of protein while adding 90–100 calories.

Banana Pineapple Protein Muffins

This is not your traditional muffin that will leave you hungry an hour later!
These Banana Pineapple Protein Muffins were intentionally created with a combination of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber. Eggs, protein powder, and the pancake mix contribute protein, while cashew butter adds healthy fats and cauliflower rice, banana, and pineapple add more plants and fiber. Chocolate chips add the fun!
Each serving provides 12 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, making this a more balanced option than a traditional muffin. Enjoy one on its own for a lighter breakfast, or pair it with a protein booster (see below!) depending on your hunger and needs.
