Green Smoothie with Avocado and Apple
Print Recipe
Cheesecake. Pizza. Risotto. Some foods are just worth making at home. (Heck, they taste better and it’s cost-effective--a total win-win.) Add to that list: smoothies. Our favorite blend combines apple, avocado, spinach and banana with a little coconut water and honey. The result is a not-too-sweet drink that’s fit for a healthy breakfast or afternoon snack. When you’re done, try this simple trick to clean your blender.
