The tropical fruit smoothie just got an upgrade. Whether you are starting out on your plant-based journey or are a seasoned pro and have tried every green smoothie out there, you likely haven’t tried one like this. Avocado, spinach, pineapple, lemon, and lime create a refreshingly sweet, creamy, and tangy smoothie that is a celebration flavor (and nutrition) in your favorite glass!
