Ingredients
  

  • 1 large frozen banana ripe, peeled, sliced
  • 1/4 - 1/2 medium ripe avocado more avocado = creamier, thicker smoothie
  • 1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 large handful greens of choice spinach, kale, rainbow chard; frozen recommended
  • 3/4 - 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
  • 1 Tbsp seed of choice hemp, flax, sesame, sunflower, chia, etc.
  • 1/2 tsp adaptogen of choice
  • 1/2 cup sliced frozen (or fresh) cucumber or berries organic when possible
  • tiny pinch sea salt
  • fresh squeeze lime juice

Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Method
 

Gather and Load Your Blender
  1. To your high-speed blender, begin by adding the liquid first: your unsweetened plain almond milk. Next, add the soft ingredients like the frozen banana, ripe avocado, protein powder of choice, and your handful of greens. At this point, incorporate any desired add-ins such as your chosen adaptogen, seeds (like hemp seeds or chia seeds), and additional fruits or vegetables such as berries or cucumber. Finally, don't forget the secret twist: a tiny pinch of sea salt and a fresh squeeze of lime juice for that essential flavor balance.
Blend to Creamy Perfection
  1. Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is utterly creamy and smooth. Watch as it transforms into a vibrant, velvety concoction. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. If your smoothie seems too thick for your liking, gradually add a little more dairy-free milk until it reaches your desired consistency. Conversely, if it's too thin, a few more slices of frozen banana or an extra chunk of avocado will thicken it right up.
Taste and Adjust
  1. Now for the best part—taste your masterpiece! This is your chance to truly make it your own. If you desire more sweetness, add another slice of frozen banana. For extra creaminess, a bit more avocado will do the trick. If you want a more vibrant green color or a stronger nutritional punch, add a few more greens. Remember, some protein powder brands or flavors can also contribute to sweetness.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. Once perfected, divide your luscious Avocado Banana Smoothie between serving glasses and enjoy immediately. It's truly best when fresh! If you happen to have any leftovers, they will keep well covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For ultimate convenience, prepare individual make-ahead smoothie packs with all your dry and frozen ingredients in freezer bags. Just dump into the blender with liquid and fresh avocado when ready! Always peel bananas before freezing. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for 24 hours or frozen in ice cube trays for up to 2 weeks.
