Notes
- Use ripe banana and avocado for the creamiest texture and best flavor
- Frozen banana or avocado slices make your smoothie extra thick and chilled without ice
- Frozen spinach works great for a frostier smoothie and saves prep time
- Add a splash of lemon or lime juice for a fresh twist
- Boost nutrition with ginger, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or protein powder
- Add peanut or almond butter for extra protein and creaminess
- Sweeten lightly with honey or maple syrup, if desired
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours – shake or stir before drinking
