What ingredients do you need?

The fruit weights are for edible portions after peeling and removing the avocado pit. Measuring them helps keep the flavor and nutrition estimate consistent. Choose a ripe avocado that yields gently to pressure and a juicy orange.

100 g (about ⅔ cup) diced ripe avocado
200 g (about 1⅛ cups) peeled orange segments, seeds removed
240 ml (1 cup) cold water

These amounts make two servings. The orange segments give the avocado orange smoothie more body than juice, while water keeps the fruit flavors bright without adding sweetener.

How do you make an avocado orange smoothie?

You’ll need a blender, a knife, a spoon and two glasses. Wash your hands and use clean equipment before preparing the fruit.

Wash the orange and avocado under running water before cutting.
Peel the orange, separate it into segments and remove any seeds.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop the flesh away from the skin.
Measure the avocado and orange, then add them to the blender with the water.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
Pour into two glasses and serve.

For a thinner avocado orange smoothie, blend in a little more water. For a thicker texture, start with less water and add the rest as needed. Tiny pieces of orange pulp are normal, and no steeping is needed.

Serve immediately for the best color and flavor. If making it ahead, refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and drink it within 24 hours. Stir or shake before serving if it separates.

Why is it considered a detox drink?

The avocado orange smoothie supports hydration and provides nutrients from whole fruit; it does not remove toxins from the body. The liver and kidneys do most of the body’s detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste. Sweat removes only trace amounts.

The orange contributes vitamin C, and both fruits provide fiber. Avocado also adds fat, which makes the drink creamy and helps make it more substantial than flavored water.

There is no evidence that this particular avocado orange smoothie improves the body’s detoxification processes. Think of it as a way to enjoy fruit and water, not as a cleanse or a substitute for medical care.

What swaps and variations can you try?

Change the texture

Use less water for a thicker avocado orange smoothie or add more for a drinkable consistency. Changing the amount of water alters the texture and serving volume, not the nutrients supplied by the fruit.

Use frozen orange segments

Peeled frozen orange segments can make the smoothie colder and thicker. Add them gradually, following your blender’s instructions for frozen ingredients, and use a little extra water if the blades need help moving.

Add a protein-rich ingredient

Blend in plain yogurt if you want a creamier smoothie with some protein. A dairy-free yogurt can also work; check its label if protein is important to you, since products vary.

Adjust the flavor

Taste the avocado orange smoothie before adding anything sweet. If the orange is tart, a small amount of sweetener can change the flavor, but it will also change the nutrition estimate below.

What is the nutrition per serving?

The following estimates are calculated from the listed amounts of raw avocado and orange, divided into two servings. Water contributes no calories or nutrients to the calculation. Values will vary with fruit size and the amounts used.

Nutrient	Approximate amount per serving
Energy	127 kcal
Protein	1.9 g
Fat	7.5 g
Carbohydrates	16.1 g
Fiber	5.8 g
Total sugars	9.7 g
Vitamin C	58 mg
Potassium	424 mg

The sugars shown are naturally present in the fruit; the basic recipe has no added sugar. Unlike steeped infused water, this smoothie contains the blended fruit, so the fruit’s calories and fiber count toward each serving.
