Notes
Meal prep: Peel the banana and avocados and store them in a freezer-safe ziplock and freeze until ready to use. All you need to do is grab a bag, dump it with milk and sweetener and blend!!Use ripe fruit. Ripe bananas provide natural sweetness to the smoothie and are a great way to reduce the amount of sugar. In addition, ripe avocado and bananas make the smoothie even creamier. Frozen: You can use fresh or frozen avocado and banana, just add it straight into the blender. If you use frozen you will have a nice cool ice cream style smoothie.Add Greens: It's a great way to add greens to your diet as you barely taste them in a smoothie. Just add a handful of washed kale or spinach.Amp up the protein - either add your favorite protein powder or go the natural way and add nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter) or greek yogurt.Amount of liquid: may vary depending on the type of blender. High-powered blenders blend much better, so if you have a regular or personal-size blender, you may need to add more milk/liquid. I've used my Vitamix.Consistency: If your smoothie seems too thick, add in a bit of extra milk. If it seems too thin, add more bananas. Discoloration: This smoothie is best served fresh!! Both avocados and bananas tend to turn black when exposed to air, (oxidize). So try to serve the smoothie as soon as it's ready. Make it vegan: Swap the whole milk for a plant-based variety. Almond, coconut, oat, and soy all work well.
