Is the avocado smoothie healthy? 

Yes, this smoothie is not only tasty but also full of nutritional benefits:

• Avocado is not just a source of healthy fats but also vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant that supports skin health and protects cells from oxidative stress. It also contains potassium and B vitamins, which are essential for a healthy nervous system. And let’s not forget, it gives the smoothie a wonderfully creamy texture.

• Berries are often considered one of the healthiest fruits on the planet – and for good reason. They’re a true powerhouse of antioxidants, packed with flavonoids like anthocyanins, which help combat inflammation, support brain function, and may slow down ageing processes. They’re also an excellent source of vitamin C. With a low glycemic index, they don’t cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. 

• WPC (whey protein concentrate) – enhances the smoothie with easily digestible protein, important for muscle recovery and maintaining a feeling of fullness. 

What’s the perfect avocado for a smoothie? 

The avocado for your smoothie should be ripe, but not overripe. How can you tell? It should be slightly soft yet firm, not mushy under pressure. If it’s very hard, it’s underripe, and if it’s too soft, it might already be starting to spoil. 

If the avocado still has a small stem, gently remove it. If the spot underneath is bright green, it’s perfectly ripe. If it’s yellowish, it may need a few more days to ripen. Brown means it’s overripe.
