This smoothie looks incredibly creamy and nutritious. Based on the ingredients shown in the image, here is a simple recipe to recreate this Banana Avocado Almond Milk Smoothie at home.
Ingredients
-
1 Frozen Banana: Sliced (using a frozen banana makes the texture like soft-serve ice cream).
-
½ Ripe Avocado: Pitted and peeled.
-
1 ½ cups Almond Milk: Unsweetened or vanilla flavored.
-
1 tbsp Honey: Or maple syrup for a vegan option.
-
Optional: A small handful of whole almonds (to blend in for extra protein) or a dash of cinnamon.
Instructions
-
Prep the Fruit: If you haven’t already, slice the banana and scoop the avocado out of its skin.
-
Combine: Add the almond milk to your blender first (liquid first helps the blades spin more easily). Add the banana slices, avocado, honey, and any extra almonds.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and pale green.
-
Adjust Consistency: * If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
-
If you want it colder/thicker, add 2–3 ice cubes and pulse.
-
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately while fresh.
Why this works
This combination is a “powerhouse” drink. The avocado provides healthy monounsaturated fats that keep you full, the banana offers natural sweetness and potassium, and almond milk keeps the recipe light and dairy-free.
