Avocado Magic Green Smoothie For Glowing Skin and Healthy Joints

Avocado is at the top of my list of favorite foods. Avocados have more amino acids than any other fruit and contain healthy fats and nutrients that are essential to skin & joint health.

Include more avocados in your diet and you’ll start to notice the luscious skin glow that comes from eating those healthy ‘good’ fats.

Bonus fact: Basil (included in this smoothie) is a natural mood enhancer that promotes a calm state of mind and a feeling of overall well-being.

Quite often I’m asked how I was able to take my skin from a place of horrible cystic acne, scarring and discoloration to the glowing state it is now. Sure, there’s always room for more improvement, but it has come a LONG way and continues to get better thanks to healthy eating and green smoothies like this one!

This smoothie is one of my favorites from the free Glowing Skin Diet e-book our team put together. Combining basil, lime & avocado creates a smooth and delicious flavor that leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

Ingredients

4 leaves lettuce, chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

1/4 cup avocado (approx. 1/2 a large avocado)
1 orange, peeled and chopped
2 dates, pitted
2 cups water (or more as needed)

Method

Wash and prep all ingredients. If dates are hard soak for 5-10 mins in water and drain before use.
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. If necessary, add more water until desired consistency is reached.
