Avocado, Spinach and Grapefruit Green Smoothie Rocket
Servings: 4 servings
Print RecipeThe Green Smoothie Rocket gets its vibrant color (and healthy nutrients) from avocado, celery, spinach, grapefruit and banana, just to name a few of the ingredients. But there’s so much more to this amazing green smoothie and I invite you to discover all its secrets!
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 mandarin (peeled)
- 1/2 big avocado (skin and seed removed)
- 1/2 stick celery
- 2 big carrots
- 150-200 g frozen spinach
- 1 banana (peeled)
- 1/2 grapefruit (peeled)
- 2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 slice fennel
- pinch of Himalayan salt
- water (cover the ingredients)
Instructions
- Add everything into your blender. Add enough water to level everything.
- Blend on medium to high until everything looks creamy.
- Serve fresh or store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Notes
- Color: green with a yellow tint
- Texture: perfectly blended, very smooth and creamy
- Taste: perfect green smoothie taste with an intense aroma. It’s sweet (banana + fennel) and a bit bitter (grapefruit) with a bit of spinach aftertaste.
Use enough water to level the ingredients and a bit more. Feel free to add more water if your blender is having trouble pureeing the ingredients. Another trick that I use to blend any smoothie to perfection is to use the pulse function a few times, followed by switching from medium to high speed alternatively for 10 seconds each.
