Banana Avocado Almond Smoothie Recipe

Banana Avocado Almond Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana

• 1/2 ripe avocado

• 10–12 raw almonds (or 2 tablespoons almond butter)

• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or soy milk)

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• Ice cubes (4–5 or as desired)

Instructions:

1. Prep the ingredients:

   • If using raw almonds and a standard blender, soak them in warm water for at least 1–2 hours or overnight to soften (optional but recommended for smoother texture).

2. Blend:

   • Add banana, avocado, almonds (or almond butter), milk, honey/maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract into a blender.

   • Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

3. Add ice:

   • Add ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and well mixed.

4. Serve:

   • Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
