Vegan Avocado Banana Smoothie
🌱 Avocado Banana Smoothie 🥑
This Avocado Banana Smoothie is thick, pale green, and creamy enough to eat with a spoon. Ripe banana, avocado, plant milk, and a handful of almonds. No dairy. No protein powder required. It tastes like a milkshake that accidentally became breakfast.
I love blending it until it ribbons off the blender. Frozen banana makes it extra cold and thick. If you add too much milk, you get a drink. If you add just enough, you get that soft-serve pour. 💚

The Secret to a Smoothie That Stays Thick
Use a ripe avocado and a frozen banana. Start with less milk than you think. Blend, scrape the sides, then add milk a splash at a time. Stop when it looks like soft serve. Chopped almonds go on top, not in the blender, so you keep the crunch.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Will I taste the avocado? 🥑
Barely. Banana covers most of it. You mostly get the creaminess.
Can I add protein powder? 💪
Yes. A scoop of vanilla vegan protein plus a splash more milk.
How long does it keep? 🧊
Best right away. It keeps 24 hours in the fridge. Stir before drinking — avocado can thicken as it sits.

Notes & Tips 💡
