If you’re looking for a great breakfast smoothie or afternoon pick-me-up, look no further. This avocado lemon ginger smoothie not only provides your body with beneficial nutrients to keep you on your game, but it also helps burn fat, fight cancer, and remove heavy metals at the same time.
Although avocados are technically a “fatty food” they contain healthy plant-based fats that actually have a beneficial effect on the body. The monounsaturated fats in avocado are burned at a higher rate than other types of fats, and they may actually increase the rate at which fat is burned. In addition, these fats may also cause your body to burn more calories after eating, and can reduce appetite and decrease the desire to eat more after a meal.
I also love adding cilantro into smoothies, because of its heavy-metal chelating effects. Heavy metals are connected with many serious health problems like cancer, heart disease, brain deterioration, emotional problems, kidney disease, lung disease and weak bones. Chemical compounds in cilantro have the ability to bind to toxic metals and loosen them from tissues. This is particularly important to include in your diet with the amount of radiation and pollution present in today’s world.
Pretty much every ingredient in this smoothie is also beneficial for fighting cancer. By raising your immunity, these ingredients help combat pathogens like viruses, bacteria and carcinogens. Avocado is particularly a great source of the master antioxidant glutathione, which aids in scavenging and destroying free radicals, which can lead to diseases like cancer.

Hello!thank you for the amazing recipes .
One question only …
I can’t eat avocado ,with what can I replace it with?
I gave high histamine problem because of high klebsiella bacteria in my colon and I react very bad when I eat it since I haven’t manage to heal my self so far .
Looking forward for your reply
Many thanks and happy new year !
You can replace it with any fat, or just keep it out completely. Fresh coconut would be good!
Thank you for this recipe. I drink something simular but would like to use this also to help get my life together. Could this be used everyday if one chooses?
Yes, you could drink this every day if you please.
This Avocado Lemon Ginger Smoothie makes 4 cups. How much of the smoothie should I drink at one time?
The recipe is for one serving.
My reply about drinking the 32 oz one cup or a little more at a time during the day until finished (since 32 oz is too much for me to drink at one time) was removed. I wasn’t sure if it would be as beneficial for me to spread my drinking it over a longer time span. I will try it since no negative response to my plan was given. Was surprised not to have received any response, but will assume no response meant ‘’Go for it!’ I definitely will since It sounds delicious!! 😊👍
Hi Camille, I wasn’t aware that you were asking a question in the last comment as there was no question mark! Haha – yes, you’ll still get the benefits 🙂
If the Avocado Lemon Ginger Smoothie recipe represents one serving (4 cups),, I would have to divide it up and drink it 4 times during the day, one cup at a time. 32 oz at one time would not work for me! I would still get the benefits of the ingredients, but at a slower pace. Will try this as soon as I go shopping for the ingredients! 👍 Thank you!
