Blending avocado into vegetable juice is a great way to make a satisfying and creamy morning smoothie that is packed with nutrients.
Some fun facts!
Much to the surprise of most, the avocado is classified as a fruit rather than a vegetable because it contains a pit. Nearly 500 varieties of avocados exist. Avocados are a great source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, K, folate, and B6.
To avoid browning, sprinkle lemon juice on the exposed green flesh and then refrigerate in a plastic bag.
