Notes

  • Using ripe avocado and banana gives the best natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • Frozen banana or avocado chunks make the smoothie thicker and more like a milkshake.
  • Can be prepped in advance by storing fruit in freezer bags and blending with milk when ready.
  • Great for breakfast, snacks, post-workout, or a guilt-free dessert.
