Place avocado, cucumber, kale, lemon juice, coconut water, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
- If you don't have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
- You can substitute spinach for kale or add a scoop of protein powder for an extra protein boost.
- For a sweeter smoothie, you can add a small amount of honey or a few drops of stevia.
