Avocado Seed Smoothie [Vegan]

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1/2 lemon, peeled and de-seeded
• 1 1/3-inch piece ginger, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon ground organic avocado seed
• 1 teaspoon matcha powder
• 1 cup baby spinach, cleaned and rinsed
• Coconut water, enough to reach your desired consistency
• A handful of ice

Preparation

To Prep the Avocado Seed:

1. Pat the avocado seed dry and set it on a windowsill that receives a lot of light, about 2 days.
2. 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.
3. 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:

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