How do I prepare the avocado seed for this smoothie?

First, pat the avocado seed dry and let it dry on a windowsill for two days. Then, split it, dry for two more days until pink inside, remove the shell, chop, and pulverize it in a blender.

What does ground avocado seed taste like in a smoothie?

Ground avocado seed has a slightly bitter, earthy taste that is well-balanced in this smoothie by the sweetness of banana, tartness of lemon, and freshness of spinach.

Why does the recipe say to discard the avocado seed if it's black inside?

A black interior indicates the avocado seed has gone bad or molded during the drying process, making it unsafe to consume. A healthy, properly dried seed should have a pinky tone.

How can I adjust the thickness of my Avocado Seed Smoothie?

You can easily adjust the smoothie's consistency by adding more coconut water for a thinner blend or using less for a thicker, creamier texture.

Can I use frozen banana in this smoothie?

Yes, using a frozen banana will give your smoothie a thicker, colder consistency without needing as much ice, which can dilute the flavor.

How to Prepare Antioxidant Avocado Seed Smoothie [Vegan]

To Prep the Avocado Seed:

Pat the avocado seed dry and set it on a windowsill that receives a lot of light, about 2 days.
After drying for two days, you should be able to use a knife to split the seed in half. Let it dry for another 2 days. The inside of the seed should be a pinky tone. If it is black, discard it.
After about 4 days of drying, the shell of the seed should come off easily. Finally, chop the seed up and pulverize it in a blender.

To Make the Smoothie:

Place all ingredients into a blender.
Blend until your desired consistency is reached.
Add more coconut water for a thinner smoothie, or less for a thicker one.
Serve in your favorite mason jar or glass.
Enjoy the energy that follows.
