Planet Smoothie Introduces Three New Smoothies Made with Avocado

The Avo-Loco smoothie contains avocado, cocoa, bananas, frozen yogurt, nonfat milk, vanilla and honey. The Piña Paradise smoothie features avocado, pineapple, leafy greens and passion fruit. Lastly, the Nutty Avocado smoothie is blended with avocado, peanut butter, bananas, almond milk, honey and granola.

"By adding avocado, we are incorporating a natural source of iron and potassium to our new smoothies," said Nicole Butcher, Director of Marketing at Kahala Brands^™, parent company of Planet Smoothie. "Additionally, because avocados are high in healthy fats and fiber, our new smoothies will help our guests feel more satisfied and keep them feeling full for longer."
