Avocado Smoothie with Dates
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Avocados not only make the drink nice and creamy, they also score points with healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. The fat-soluble vitamin acts as an antioxidant and thus protects the cells from harmful free radicals.
If you prefer to enjoy the drink vegan, simply replace cow's milk with a plant-based alternative.
