Smoothie Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prepare all the ingredients by pitting and peeling the avocado and peeling the banana to ensure smooth blending.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the avocado, banana, almond milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and vanilla extract into a blender. Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Blend: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. If you want a colder smoothie, add ice cubes and blend again until the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and creamy texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as soy, oat, or dairy milk.
- Adjust the level of sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup or omitting it entirely for a naturally sweet taste from the banana alone.
- For a thicker smoothie, add more ice or use frozen banana pieces.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving.
- Optional toppings such as crushed nuts, cacao nibs, or a sprinkle of cinnamon can add texture and flavor.
