Tips to Make Avocado Banana Smoothie

Timing is key: If your avocado is too firm, let it sit a bit on the counter until it ripens.
If you’re headed towards a vegan option, you can swap the almond milk for oat milk or coconut milk.
Want to up the flavor? Toss in a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without compromising taste.

Variation

Want to change things up? Try adding a spoonful of peanut butter or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist! You can also replace almond milk with yogurt for more creaminess, creating a smoothie bowl – how fun is that?
