🥤 Creamy Banana, Avocado & Almond Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
1 Ripe Banana (frozen slices work best for a thicker texture)
½ Ripe Avocado (makes it incredibly silky)
1 cup Milk of choice (Almond milk, oat milk, or dairy)
1 tbsp Almond Butter (or a small handful of raw almonds)
1 tsp Honey or Maple Syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
A pinch of Cinnamon
Ice cubes (if using a fresh banana)
Instructions
Prep: Peel the banana and scoop the avocado flesh out of the skin.
Combine: Place the banana, avocado, milk, almond butter, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no almond bits remain.
Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Top with a few whole or crushed almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon, just like in your picture!
Pro-Tips for the Best Texture
For a colder drink: Use a frozen banana. It gives the smoothie a consistency almost like soft-serve ice cream.
Liquid first: Always pour your milk in first. This helps the blender blades move freely and prevents the thick avocado from getting stuck at the bottom.
Nutrient boost: You can add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds without changing the flavor profile significantly.
