This is a savory green smoothie. Drinking a savory smoothie is an acquired taste, but once you get into it you will quickly recognize that it is incredibly satisfying. When I lived in Napa, I drank this smoothie every day for lunch.
1 avocado, peeled and pitted
1 large handful cilantro
1 cup spinach
Juice of 1 lime
1 red bell pepper, seeded, stemmed, and cut into pieces
1 tablespoon miso
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of cayenne
