Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 1 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 1 months
  • Do not heat. Shake well or blend briefly after chilling, since avocado smoothies thicken as they stand.

Ingredient substitutions

Avocado

  • Cucumber: Use only if avocado is unavailable, the smoothie will be lighter and less creamy.

Lime

  • Lime zest: Use a small amount with extra coconut water when limes are dry, keeping the same lime flavor.

Cucumber

  • Coconut water: Adds hydration but removes the crisp cucumber body.

Spinach

  • Cucumber: Use for a milder green drink, though the color and leafy flavor will be reduced.

Coconut water

  • Water: Keeps the smoothie light but removes the gentle coconut sweetness.

Ice

  • Coconut water: Use extra chilled coconut water for a thinner but still refreshing smoothie.
