Purée yogurt, lime zest and juice and 2 tbsp of brown sugar. Pour into 3 glasses.
Purée almond paste, remaining sugar, yogurt and wild blueberries and blend until smooth.

I thought green smoothies were about fruit and green vegetables
not dairy product
Ever heard of water!
Dont get your panties in a crinkle. Somebody requested this Dr. Oz recipe and I simply provided it. There are many different schools of thought on what a green smoothie is, however, keep in mind Dr. Oz labeled this a Blueberry Avocado Smoothie, not a green smoothie. If you dont like dairy products (and I stay away from them most of the time too), then dont drink this smoothie, or simply alter it to your tastes. This blog is mostly about helping people find a way of clean eating that suits them, rather than one specific modality of eating.
Smiles,

I am not one for milk or sugar. I would substitute Raw coconut water, which is the only coconut water Ill touch. I would add coconut syrup or maple syrup for the sugar.
Personally I love pureed avacado soup. So, this is something I might try.
Thanks for sharing.
