Avocado Betel Leaves Smoothie Recipe for Energy and Digestion | 30 Smoothie recipes (25/30)
I tried something totally new last week, and it turned out amazing! I had a few fresh betel leaves and thought, why not try adding them to my usual smoothie? And wow, this Avocado Betel Leaves Smoothie was a surprise hit!
This smoothie is smooth, creamy, and slightly minty from the betel leaves. It’s a lovely mix of fruity, nutty, and earthy. Super refreshing and perfect for mornings or even post-workout recharge.
Health Benefits
This smoothie gives you the goodness of heart healthy fats from avocado, fibre from apple, protein and minerals from nut powder, and the cooling and digestive properties of betel leaves. A great way to start your day with a calm tummy and lots of energy!
Let’s Talk About Ingredients
Avocado
Avocado makes the smoothie creamy and thick. It’s a good source of healthy fats and keeps you full. If you don’t have it, you can try banana or soaked almonds.
Apple
Apple adds sweetness and freshness. It blends well and gives fibre. Green apple can be used for a tangy twist.
Nuts Powder
This mix of almonds, cashews, and walnuts adds protein, good fats, and a nice nutty taste. You can also use peanut butter or just almond powder.
Betel Leaves
Fresh betel leaves add a unique taste and help digestion. Don’t add too much – 2 small leaves are enough. You can skip if not available, but that fresh flavour will be missed.
Almond Milk
It makes the smoothie light and dairy-free. You can also use coconut milk or regular milk if you prefer.
