Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 banana, 1 cup of almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey (if using).
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender. Make sure to use a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. Add the banana to the blender with the avocado.
- Add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the blender. This will provide a rich, nutty flavor and creaminess to the smoothie.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. You can adjust the amount based on your desired thickness; less milk will yield a thicker smoothie.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of honey at this stage. This is optional and can be adjusted based on your taste.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing it evenly between them.
- Optionally, you can garnish your smoothie with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey on top for added texture and sweetness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, nutritious Peanut Butter Avocado Smoothie!
Tips
- • Always use a ripe avocado for the smoothest, creamiest texture - look for ones that yield slightly when gently pressed • For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder • Freeze your banana beforehand for an even thicker, more milkshake-like consistency • If you're vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar • Use a high-powered blender to ensure maximum smoothness and prevent any chunky bits • Experiment with toppings like chia seeds, cacao nibs, or sliced almonds for added crunch • Prep ingredients the night before for a super quick morning smoothie • Adjust almond milk quantity to control thickness - less milk means a thicker smoothie
