#AVOccasions | The ultimate summer smoothie rundown.
In our second #AVOccasions blog post in collaboration with our friends at Mission Produce, we’re doing a rundown of the ULTIMATE summer smoothies.
Days lazing around the pool… Light and bright evenings running through the park… BBQs with your nearest and dearest. What could be better? And when you’ve got a delicious, fresh smoothie waiting for you on the other side; well, then we’re REALLY spoiling you.
As part of our ‘Summer Fridays’ celebration, we wanted to round up our favourite smoothie recipes for all your summer staple events. Why not give them a go and, while you’re at it, treat yourself to a tasty $7 off of ALL online orders at Avocaderia every Friday right on through to the end of August, thanks to Mission Produce and in partnership with NASDAQ.
So, what are you waiting for? Saddle up. These avocado-based smoothies are too good to refuse.

When you need to cool down and chill out, we reckon there’s not much better than this Strawberry, Avocado and Spearmint smoothie.
The sweet tang of the strawberry matched up with the creamy taste of avocado and a fresh burst of spearmint is ideal for poolside vibes. It’s super refreshing and also features coconut water for that *chef’s kiss*.
Hosting a pool party? Why not rustle up a big batch and hand them out? This light and silky treat is bound to please.

Just finished a long run in the park? Or a sweaty pilates session? Or a high energy cycle? You probably could do with a protein packed (and delicious) smoothie.
This healthy blueberry avocado protein smoothie is thick and creamy, packed with fiber, fat, protein and antioxidants. It’s also vegan and gluten free and ICE COLD. Cue the drool.
Whack the ingredients in the blender while you’re cooling down, sit back and relax with this total taste sensation.

Looking for the ideal accompaniment for your outdoor gathering? Give this Piña-vocado Smoothie a whirl.
Hot, humid days toasting drinks in the garden call for a nourishing, indulgent, frozen treat. And that’s why we love this smoothie. It combines pineapple, coconut, avocado, orange juice and lime - all the ingredients necessary for a delicious summer treat.
Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top and serve up with chunks of ice to add that extra je ne sais quoi.

Can we get a YUM over here?! Fancy adding a light treat to your next BBQ in the park? Chuck some of these icy avocado smoothies in a cool bag.
The ingredients are super simple; just avocado, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, vanilla extract and ice. The end result is reminiscent of sorbet… Oh-so-cooling and bursting with all the feel good ingredients.

Okay, so it isn’t QUITE a smoothie, but this avocado daiquiri is di-vine.
Two types of rum, lemon and lime, syrup, ice and… avocado. Uh huh. That’s right. And boy does it pack a punch.
It’s our ‘go to’ cocktail whenever we want to pay homage to our #1 ingredient (duh - the avo).
