Is Avocado a Fruit or a Vegetable?

Avocado is not a vegetable. Although it is often creatively included in savory meals, avocado is a fruit that comes from a type of tropical tree.

Avocado fruit has a thin but firm skin protecting the soft flesh inside. When you cut one open, your knife will hit a hard and oblong pit in the center.

Only the flesh of an avocado is edible and can be used in savory meals, sweet desserts, and beverages.

Is Avocado Berry Smoothie Healthy?

Yes, our avocado berry smoothie is healthy, and that’s thanks to its two main ingredients.

1. Avocado Benefits

Avocados are loaded with nutrients. They’re high in folate, potassium, good fats, and vitamins K, C, and E. Additionally, they contain small amounts of antioxidants and minerals, such as copper, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, iron, and zinc.

Avocados also have monounsaturated fats, mostly oleic acid. These fats are beneficial for your heart, reduce inflammation, and may have anticancer qualities. Consuming avocados may also aid in the absorption of other fat-soluble nutrients.

As an added bonus, they are high in fiber as well, a nutrient that is often deficient in most Western diets.

2. Berry Benefits

Berries include antioxidants that aid in the regulation of free radicals. Free radicals are unstable atoms that are useful in small quantities but may cause harm to your cells when their numbers reach an unsustainable level, resulting in oxidative stress.

Main Ingredients

Let’s take a look at the ingredients for today’s avocado berry smoothie recipe:

Save

• Avocado: You can pick any variety of avocados you like as they all have a very similar taste.
• Berries: We’re only using strawberries and blueberries today. However, if you have any other berries, such as raspberries or blackberries, you can also add them to the blender.
• Sweetener: Honey is our favorite pick for our healthy beverage recipes.
• Dairy: We’re using Greek yogurt and whole milk for this smoothie.
• And ice.

What Other Fruits Go Well With Avocado?

Besides assorted berries, many more fruits can pair well with avocado. Here are some examples:

• Bananas: You can use frozen bananas to make a thick and creamy avocado banana smoothie. The best part about this smoothie is that you don’t need to add sugar since ripe bananas are already very sweet.
• Pineapples: To our surprise, pineapples go amazingly well with avocado. Check out our Avocado Green Smoothie Recipe to learn more about this combination and try it out for yourself.

How Long Does This Smoothie Last?

For optimal quality, we suggest consuming this avocado berry smoothie within the first two hours after preparation.

Save

If you are not going to drink it all up, transfer it to a bottle or other airtight container and seal it. Refrigerate it, and it will keep well for a day. The drink may discolor as avocado bruises quickly but this shouldn’t affect the flavor.
