The Cal Flavor Smoothie is a tropical delight that effortlessly combines the creamy richness of Cal Flavor Avocados with the vibrant sweetness of pineapple, honeydew melon, and kiwi. This smoothie is a symphony of flavors, with the luscious avocado providing a velvety base that perfectly complements the juicy burst of citrus from orange juice and the tropical notes of unsweetened coconut milk. Low-fat yogurt adds a smooth, tangy undertone, while a hint of vanilla and the subtle sweetness of coconut sugar elevate the blend. Garnished with slices of pineapple and a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut, this smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious treat that embodies the best of tropical flavors.
