Instructions
- 1
Before you start, make sure your avocado has no black spot. If so, it means it is too ripe and it will add a bitter taste to your smoothie. You need a ripe avocado with smooth green flesh.

In a blender, add all the ingredients together, starting with 4 dates. Adjust the amount in the next step if not sweet enough.

Blend at high speed until frothy and thick. Taste and adjust the number of dates, adding up to 2 Medjool dates to boost the sweetness.
