Salad Smoothie

 

Move over fruit-smoothie lovers, it’s time for us salad-smoothie lovers to shine! Using avocado as the creamy base, cucumber for deep hydration, and a blend of lime, mango, and shallots for a pop of flavors you’re going to love. Add less water to make a smoothie bowl (see Chef’s Notes) or more water to make it a soothing beverage.
