Adding the avocado boosts absorption of beneficial carotenoids in the greens. It also slows the digestion of the smoothie, which helps to maintain blood sugar and keep you satisfied longer....meaning this smoothie can be a meal in itself. To lower the overall fruit sugar (and FODMAP) content even more, replace the frozen cherries with more blueberries or frozen strawberries.
