This avocado smoothie recipe is an easy way to pack in a ton of those healthy green leafy veggies you're always hearing you should get more of in healthy vegan recipes.

There are tons of green smoothie recipes out there, but I wanted to show you one that doesn't involve any fruit.

Sometimes people don't like fruit, and sometimes they're on a special diet where they need to eliminate or reduce fruit.

This all-veggie green smoothie is really tasty and refreshing - and this comes from a girl who is a total sweet- and fruit-aholic! But if you do want to sweeten it up a bit, you could add a piece of fruit or some pure fruit juice or a tiny bit of stevia.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Makes 1 large smoothie.
