Little Bird Green Apple and Avocado Smoothie

I’m an avid fan of the Little Bird Unbakery, and Megan the founder is an incredible chef. The taste combo of banana, green apple and avocado is exceptional!

The difference with this smoothie is the addition of fats in the form of avocado and coconut oil. This gives it real nutritional punch, and can definitely be a stop gap meal if you’re eating on the run.
