Avocado Kiwi Smoothie is made with fresh avocado, cucumber, kiwis and plain yogurt for a healthy breakfast or lunch that isn’t too sweet.
Typically, I am all about those super fruity and sweet smoothies like the Triple Berry Smoothie, but sometimes I just want something nutrient dense and makes me feel good and full for a long time. I love this smoothie because it does those things. Here is a breakdown on what the ingredients are doing for our body!
Avocado
Low in sugar, high in fiber with 20 vitamins and minerals. Avocado may be high in calories and fat but it is monounsaturated fatty acids that are healthy and your body needs!
Kiwi
Kiwis are always tasty and healthy with loads of Vitamin C. Your immune system will thank you.
Cucumber
Cucumber has a mild taste and is super refreshing known to help with hydration.
Yogurt
The benefits of yogurt can differ from brand to brand. Look for a high calcium yogurt that is fortified with Vitamin D for bone health. Yogurt also has probiotics to help with your gut health.
Avocado Kiwi Smoothie
Avocado Kiwi Smoothie is smooth and creamy with a strong avocado flavor and just a hint of tangy kiwi. The cucumber and yogurt is added for health benefits and to also thicken the smoothie into a really nice consistency. A great smoothie to start your day with!

I need to try this out! I make smoothies, but I basically have only two “recipes” that I use – if you can call them that. I just put stuff in and blend. This sounds delicious!
Haha, well.. thats not a terrible way to make a smoothie.
What a beautiful and likely tasty concoction! It screams spring!
This sounds so refreshing! I LOVE kiwi but never think to pick them up at the store!
My kids loooove kiwi. I usually just buy the packs so it lasts a little while.
Yum! Loving this fresh recipe for spring!
Thanks Raina. Enjoy 🙂
This looks so yummy and refreshing! I try to have a smoothie every morning for breakfast and this is a little different than what I make. I can’t wait to try it and switch things up.
Yes, a little switch up is good every once in awhile!
