This savoury smoothie recipe breaks the typically sweet, high-carb mould.
Avocado provides most of the energy in the form of monounsaturated fat along with heaps of vitamins B5 and E, folate, copper and potassium. The broth (or bouillon) adds vitamin A and sodium.
Spinach and cilantro add vitamins A and K1 along with folate, while the onion, lemon, garlic, salt and pepper flakes round out this unique flavour sensation.
