Ingredients
- 1/4 ripe avocado

- 2 large handfuls spinach (organic when possible)
- 1 small handful kale (organic when possible // large stems removed)
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk (DIY or store-bought – will depend on if your berries are frozen)

Instructions
-
Add all smoothie ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Add more almond milk (or water) to thin.
-
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more ripe banana (or maple syrup) for added sweetness, more spinach for a bright green hue, or almond milk for creaminess.
-
For the green smoothie, I used strawberries, which let the green color come through more. For the purple bowl, I used darker berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries).
-
For more protein, add nut butter! This also offsets / enhances the natural sweetness of the smoothie.
-
Divide between 2 serving bowls (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and top with desired toppings!
-
Best when fresh, though leftovers can be kept in jars in the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
