5 Gorgeous Avocado Green Smoothies

Have you ever added avocado into your smoothie? It has an amazing effect on the texture. The smoothie becomes smooth, rich, and creamy. Adding avocado to your smoothie produces delicious results, as well as powerful health benefits. Did you know that an average avocado contains approximately 4 grams of protein, which is far more than most other fruits?

That’s right! By simply adding an avocado to your smoothie, you will boost the protein content by 4 grams.

Avocados also pack a good amount of fiber, containing around 11 grams of fiber per medium-sized avocado. That’s pretty awesome, right? Adding healthy proteins and fibers to your daily diet is key in maintaining optimal health and weight.
