Normally, green smoothies usually do not have a defined creamy base. They provide a lot of vitamins thanks to their exotic combinations of vegetables and a few fruits. But honestly, sometimes they just taste horrible and no one wants to make them consistently. Most green smoothies don’t taste like this creamy smoothie without bananas or this luscious berry smoothie without yogurt.

This is why I made this green smoothie that consists of the ingredients like zucchini and sliced avocado for creaminess and lusciousness. Forget those parsley-flavored smoothies that make you doubt if you are taking a snack or a punishment and enjoy this delicious and creamy green smoothie recipe instead!
