Strawberry Avocado Smoothie
This smoothie is absolutely delicious, perfectly sweet without being overly so, and filling enough to keep me happy until lunch!
Ingredients
- 3-4 ice cubes
- 1 (5.3 oz) container plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ¼ of a medium avocado
- ¼ cup skim milk
- 5 medium strawberries, can be frozen or fresh
- 1/8 cup pineapple, can be frozen, fresh or canned
- ½ teaspoon Truvia sweetener, this is about half a packet if you use packets
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If the smoothie is thicker than you would like (can happen if you use frozen fruit), feel free to add a little water and blend again to combine. Pour into a glass and drink up!

Weight Watchers Points Plus:
7 per smoothie (PP calculated using a WW PointsPlus calculator and the nutrition info below) *The SmartPoints program counts zero point foods differently when blended into a beverage (to learn more, read here). Part of the reasoning for this is to offset the possibility of members over-consuming fruit, etc and counting it as free (it’s much easier to over-eat fruit in a smoothie without feeling full than it is when you’re just eating the individual pieces of fruit). Since this smoothie only has 5 strawberries, a couple pineapple chunks and an individual container of yogurt (not an unreasonable amount to eat in one sitting), I sometimes track it as 3 SmartPoints (the total without the fruit and yogurt). I am not at all suggesting that anyone else do this, as it is not what Weight Watchers would officially recommend, I’m just letting you all know!
