Adding Avocado Pits In Your Morning Smoothie

Life will definitely not be “the pits” after you start adding avocado pits to your morning smoothie! Avocado pits are antimicrobial, antifungal and anthelmintic. They are high in soluble fiber and are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They do contain tannins and are bitter by themselves, but once blended with greens and fruits, you’ll be reaping the benefits without noticing the taste.

Note: If using a regular ol’ blender, you’ll have to place the pit in a bag and smash it open with a hammer. You can then use the seeds in your smoothie.


Many recipes abound on the internet using the pulp leftover after making juice. The most common idea is to use carrot pulp as you would shredded carrots in a carrot muffin or bread recipe. But even pulp from leafy greens, veggies and fruits can be used in various recipes, such as to make veggie burgers and salsas.

Since juice pulp is essentially insoluble fiber, you can use it to add fiber to smoothies, soups, stews, or in bread and cracker recipes. The standard amount is 1/2 cup of juice pulp in most recipes that serve 4 people.
