ALMOND BANANA AVOCADO SMOOTHIE 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling the banana and removing the pit from the avocado. If using whole almonds, you can either soak them for a few hours to soften them, or use almond butter for convenience. Measure out your almond milk and any optional sweetener.
2. Blend Everything Together: Add the banana, avocado, almonds (or almond butter), almond milk, and sweetener (if using) to your blender. If you like your smoothie cold and thick, feel free to add a few ice cubes to the blender as well.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend everything together until you have a smooth and creamy consistency. Depending on the strength of your blender, this should take about 30-60 seconds. You can add more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
4. Taste and Adjust: Give the smoothie a taste test! If you’d like it a little sweeter, add more honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away. You can garnish it with some sliced almonds or banana slices on top for a little extra crunch if you’d like.

Tips for the Perfect Almond Banana Avocado Smoothie

• Frozen Fruit: For a colder and thicker smoothie, consider using frozen bananas or avocado. This will give your smoothie a richer, creamier texture.
• Boost the Protein: If you want to make this smoothie more of a meal replacement, add a scoop of protein powder (plant-based or whey) to boost the protein content. This is a great option if you’re looking for a post-workout refuel.
• Supercharge with Extras: You can easily add other ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, spinach, or a scoop of collagen powder for added nutrients. These are optional but can take the health benefits to the next level.
• Adjust the Sweetness: Depending on how ripe your banana is and your sweetness preference, you may not need any added sweetener. Taste before adding honey or maple syrup.
