Avo-Berry Tang Smoothie: Optimize The Green Goodness

Typically when you think of a delicious smoothie, you think of lots of fruit. This unique Avo-Berry Tang blend has little fruit which makes it low GI (glycemic index) if you're watching your intake. Powerful and flavourful, this Blendtec recipe uses coconut water (hailed as Nature's Gatorade) and low-calorie, high-nutrient spinach to deliver a shockwave of green goodness to your body! Coconut water is packed with electrolytes and hydrates you better than any sports drink. It keeps your skin so clear and quenched that it glows, and satiates your system so you don't crave junk food. Spinach is a superfood heavy-weight. It's nutrient-dense and low in calories. It's an anti-inflammatory agent to protect your body from disease, and it's phytonutrients are heart healthy. To make your Avo-Berry Tang Smoothie, add these ingredients into your Blendtec:
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 3⁄4 cup coconut water
Secure the lid and blend until spinach and coconut water become smooth. Now add these ingredients in:
  • 1⁄2 cup blackberries
  • 1⁄4 avocado, frozen
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Secure lid and blend until all ingredients combine smoothly. You can substitute blackberries for strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.
