- Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced banana, avocado, almonds (or almond butter), and almond milk to a high-speed blender.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If using, add sweetener, ice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, or protein powder.
- Blend: Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a bit more banana/avocado.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Tips for the Best Smoothie:
-
- Frozen Banana: Using a frozen banana makes the smoothie colder and thicker without needing a lot of ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- Ripeness Matters: Ensure your banana and avocado are ripe for the best flavor and creamy texture.
- Soak Almonds (Optional): If your blender isn’t super powerful, you can soak the almonds in water for a few hours or overnight to soften them, which will help them blend more smoothly. Drain before using.
- Adjust to Taste: Don’t be afraid to adjust the ratios of ingredients to suit your personal preference for sweetness, thickness, and flavor.
