Is avocado good in smoothies?

Yes! Avocado is perfect for smoothies. It adds texture without changing the flavor. For best results, use an avocado that is just barely ripe - slightly soft at the top.

Are smoothies whole30?

Smoothies can be part of a whole30 reset, it just depends on your mindset and the ingredients you use. Eating full on fruit smoothies to replace your meals defeats the purpose of a whole30. However, a nutrient rich smoothie (like this whole30 chocolate smoothie) is perfectly fine to have on occasion.

Is cocoa powder whole30?

Yes, unsweetened cocoa powder is fine to have on a whole30.
