Banana Avocado Almond Smoothie.

🛒 Ingredients

To get the consistency and flavor shown in the image, use these proportions:

Ingredient Amount Notes
Banana 1 medium Use a frozen banana for a thicker, milkier texture.
Avocado $1/2$ ripe avocado Provides healthy fats and that ultra-creamy green color.
Almonds 10–12 whole Adds texture and a nutty depth.
Almond Milk 1 – $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups Unsweetened works best since we’re adding honey.
Honey 1 – 2 tsp Adjust based on your preferred sweetness level.
Ice $1/2$ cup Optional (only needed if using fresh banana).

🥣 Instructions

  1. Prep the Base: Peel your banana and scoop the avocado flesh out of its skin.

  2. Layering (Pro Tip): For the smoothest blend, add your liquids first (almond milk and honey), followed by the softest ingredients (avocado and banana), and top with the almonds. This prevents the blades from getting stuck.

  3. The Blend: Start your blender on a low speed to break up the whole almonds and frozen banana, then increase to high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth.

  4. Check Consistency: * Too thick? Add a splash more almond milk.

    • Too thin? Add 2–3 more ice cubes or a bit more frozen banana.

  5. Serve: Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately.


💡 Nutritional Benefits

  • Healthy Fats: The avocado provides monounsaturated fats that are great for heart health and skin.

  • Potassium: High levels from the banana help with muscle recovery and blood pressure.

  • Sustained Energy: The combination of fiber (avocado/almonds) and natural sugars (banana/honey) prevents a mid-morning energy crash.

Variation Tip: If you want an extra protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of Greek yogurt!
