🥑 Creamy Avocado & Banana Bliss

This recipe makes one large serving. It’s naturally sweet, full of healthy fats, and has a velvet-like texture.

1/2 Ripe Avocado: Pitted and scooped out.
1 Frozen Banana: Using a frozen banana makes it extra thick and chilly without needing much ice.
1 cup Milk of choice: Dairy, almond, or oat milk all work perfectly.
1 tbsp Honey: Plus a little extra for that beautiful drizzle on top.
1/4 tsp Vanilla extract: (Optional) To enhance the sweetness.
A handful of ice: Only if you prefer a slushier consistency.

Prep the Fruit: Place the scooped avocado and the frozen banana chunks into your blender.
Add Liquids: Pour in your milk of choice, the honey, and the vanilla extract.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the green flecks disappear and the mixture is perfectly smooth.
The “Drizzle” Technique: Pour the smoothie into a glass. To get the look in your photo, take a spoon dipped in honey and let it slowly run down the inside edge of the glass before adding a final swirl on top.
Garnish: Slice a fresh banana coin and notch it onto the rim of the glass.

Ripeness Matters: Ensure your avocado is soft to the touch. An underripe avocado will make the smoothie taste “grassy” rather than creamy.
Boost It: If you want more protein, a scoop of vanilla protein powder or 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt fits right in without changing the flavor profile significantly.
