Ingredients
Making avocado berry smoothie at home requires only a few ingredients. A ripe haas avocado, milk, sweetener, frozen berries like blueberries, strawberries, black berries, and raspberries are all you need.
You can use fresh berries too and skip a few if you don't have all of them, or just use one type of berry. To make it vegan, plant based milk can be used.
Additionally, to make it more nutritious, leafy greens like kale or spinach can be added. Also some protein powder can be added.
Instructions
Making avocado berry smoothie is very simple. Cut the avocado lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop half of the avocado with a spoon into a blender. I have used Vitamix but any blender will work.
Add the mixed berries, milk, and agave nectar or sweetener of choice. Blend everything starting from low speed and gradually increasing to high speed until it turns into a smooth and creamy smoothie.
Adjust the consistency of the smoothie as per your liking by adding more milk. Serve immediately and enjoy it with your breakfast toast, bagels, or by itself.

Equipment
I have used Vitamix to make this avocado berry smoothie. You can use any high speed blender or even a hand blender. A blender with smoothie setting works best but you can also increase the speed manually from low to high and blending it until smooth and creamy.
Storage
It is best to consume the avocado berry smoothie fresh once it is made. If you have any leftover, you can store it in the refrigerator for few hours. However, it will change its color due slightly as avocados will get oxidized.
