Avocado + Green Apple Smoothie

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This avocado + green apple smoothie is designed to nourish your hair from the inside out!

Avocado and Green Apple Smoothie

Waking up to see a fresh layer of snow filling in for the puddles that existed yesterday and temperatures that have returned to the teens has my hair and skin in a state of despair. They were just getting used to the balmy glow that was returned to them by the 50 degree temperatures that Monday offered.

Fortunately, the warmer temperatures of Monday will return for round two this Friday, but thank goodness we have this smoothie in the interim.

This avocado + green apple smoothie was concocted with hair in mind because this winter has taken its toll not just on our cars' exteriors but also on the health of our hair (and skin for that matter... but there's another smoothie to help with that).

My hair has been taken over by static and split ends because of the dry and bitter air we've had this winter, and no amount of conditioner has improved the situation.

Sometimes the answers to life's more trivial problems are nestled in the chilled dreaminess of a smoothie (or at least in this case they are).

This creamy smoothie is a mixture of bananas, avocado, green apples, spinach, hemp seeds, and almond milk. Each of these ingredients is known to promote hair health, most notably the avocado, green apples, spinach, and hemp seeds. They're touted for their ability to return that shiny glow to hair thanks to the variety of vitamins and minerals each contains.

In addition to revitalizing your hair, this smoothie is also incredibly tasty.

The avocado, banana, and hemp seeds each add a layer of richness, while the green apple and spinach offer balance and a beautiful green hue.

As with most smoothies, this one is super easy to toss together in a pinch as you're running out the door in the morning, only costing you 5 minutes from start to finish. Convenient, hair-enhancing, and delicious.

    I've never made a smoothie with avocado before but definitely need to try this one! Love the goji berries on top there - beautiful contrast of colors : )) Think this would work without the spinach and hemp seeds (I've got everything else)?

      Hi Vicky! This smoothie should be delicious even without the spinach and hemp seeds. Avocado adds an amazing creaminess to smoothies. Once I tried it for the first time, it was hard to imagine a smoothie without it!

    This was delicious! I woke up looking for a way to incorporate green apples into a smoothie and your recipe popped up! I used kale in place of the spinach, since that's what I had, and added in a couple of dates for extra sweetness. Thanks for the recipe Ashley! :-)

    Hi,
    I tried the recipe with other frozen mixed greens and it was way too thick.... doubled the almond mild and added 1/3 cup water... PERFEKT. Thank you for this great recipe. Now I am curious how long I feel full!!!
