Avocado Coconut Milk Smoothie

Imagine starting your day with a smoothie that combines creamy avocado, refreshing coconut milk, and sweet pineapple as a base ingredient for an absolutely nourishing and delicious drink.  

This Avocado Coconut Milk Smoothie is quick to make and load yourself with a package that includes healthy fats, fiber, and nutrients to keep you feeling your best.  

Each ingredient adds its own taste and benefits, such as aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and keeping you hydrated.

I consume the following coconut milk smoothie blended with avocado flesh often when my mood is of having no dairy milk, not to discourage dairy usage but i personally enjoy coconut milk when it adds a slippery sensation to my mouth.

Dairy products are also a need of your body, but when you’re allergic to dairy, then there are many substitutes of dairy that are equally nutritious.
