Refreshing summer drinks Breakfast Snacks

Avocado, cucumber and blueberry smoothie

Published: 03.22.2022 » Last updated: 03.22.2022

We all deal with hot weather differently. For my part, the answer is smoothies and light meals. Serve this smoothie for breakfast or midday snack.

Avocado cucumber and blueberry smoothie

I’m not really a fan of avocado (except in the form of guacamole) but, when combined with cucumber and blueberries in the form of a smoothie, it’s surprisingly good!

It might sound like a strange combination but, trust me, it works. All the ingredients contain enough sweetness to make the addition of sugar or other sweetener unnecessary.

Avocado makes the smoothie ultra creamy, the cucumber lightens the texture of the avocado and the blueberries add a tang that cuts through the sweetness.

For best results, chill the avocado, cucumber and blueberries overnight so they’re nice and cold by the time you make the smoothie in the morning.
