And on top of all the yumminess, the lime actually helps to break down fat in the avocado for better digestion. What's not to love in this smoothie!
If anyone is embarking on a sugar-free cleanse/diet, check our Inner Ecology ebook, it has all sugar-free recipes (and is fruit-free except for cranberry, lemon and lime).
1/2 avocado
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
Juice of one small lime
Zest of one lime
8-10 drops stevia
Water to thin
1 ice cube
Mix ingredients together in a blender, add ice if desired. Makes one serving.
Topped with QuinWow Quinoa Crisps, I've been enjoying these a lot on my smoothies/puddings for an extra crunch.
what a lovely smoothy! i'm very intrigued by the quinoa crisps, i'll have to get my hands on some ;)
ReplyDeleteIt must be so good... I made one yesterday with avocado, banana, peanut butter, vanilla soy milk and orange juice...it was so thick I ate it with a spoon!! I love avocado in smoothies!!
ReplyDeleteThe Quinoa Crips intrigue me...where are you from? Wonder if they sell that around here...I'm from New-Brunswick, Canada
That smoothie sounds delish, i love thick smoothies, it's like eating dessert :P
Deletewe're from Ontario, and apparently they only sell these particular quinoa crisps in ontario and quebec :( but you may have another variety in New Brunswick. My roommate in uni was from NB! She couldn't wait to get back for the Acadien festival. :)
i so want to make this! avocado lime smoothie sounds delish! i love how this doesn't have banana in it (too many carbs for me since i am on sugar cleanse!).
