AIP Friendly Avocado Lime Smoothie
Creamy, bright, and genuinely refreshing, this blended drink is the kind of thing that feels indulgent without a single ingredient that would set off an autoimmune flare. Ripe avocado and full-fat coconut milk create a silky, rich base that's satisfying enough to double as a light meal, while fresh lime juice cuts right through the richness with a citrusy punch. A touch of honey and freshly grated ginger round everything out — warming, subtly sweet, and just complex enough to keep every sip interesting. One of the trickier parts of following a strict elimination-style protocol is finding something that actually tastes like a treat, and this one genuinely delivers. Everything goes into the blender at once, so you're looking at under five minutes from start to finish, and the recipe makes two servings — perfect for sharing or saving one for later. Finish with a little lime zest on top if you have it; it adds a fragrant pop that makes the whole glass feel a little more special.
