Start Your Morning Off Right With Tribe’s Super Healthy CBD Avocado Smoothie — Get The Recipe Now

We know, that you know, that avocados are basically the gold of this generation. Overnight, this creamy green fruit has gone from relative obscurity to a defining feature of millennial life. Nowadays, you can find people slapping slices of avocado on everything — from Chipotle burrito bowls to slices of sourdough bread. Avocado smoothies have also gained just as much attention in the health and fitness world for their wonderful benefits.

One rather annoying aspects of buying avocados is that they take awhile to ripen. Some people have tried to "speed up" the ripening process by placing avocados in the microwave, but while this may soften the avocado’s outer layer, it won’t give your avocado a smooth texture or a delicious nutty flavor.

Like other fine things in life, perfect avocados require patience! However, you can give your avocados a gentle nudge by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana to trap the ethylene gas necessary for ripening. Keep this trick in mind if you’re super impatient to try this CBD smoothie.

1. Add all of your ingredients to a blender.
2. Blitz for about 30 seconds, or until smooth.
3. Add more ice or milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Pour and enjoy!

Running out of time to ripen, cut and store your avocados? Use frozen avocados! Nowadays, you shouldn’t have a problem finding frozen avocado chunks in your local grocery store. Or, if you do have some extra time to spare, you can cut your ripe avocado and place slices in a freezer-safe bag for long-term storage.

If you’re going to freeze avocado slices, be sure to put them on a parchment-lined sheet in the freezer one hour before plopping them in your freezer-safe bag. You may also want to spray your slices with a bit of lemon juice to ensure your avocado stays firm and green for as long as possible.
