Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened preferred)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or more to taste)
- 1/4 cup raw almonds (or 2 tablespoons almond butter for convenience)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Peel the banana and remove the pit and skin from the avocado. If you are using raw almonds, soak them in water for several hours or overnight to soften. Alternatively, almond butter can be used for a smoother and faster blending process.
2. Blend the Smoothie
In a high-speed blender, combine the banana, avocado, almond milk, honey, and almonds (or almond butter). Add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.
3. Blend Until Smooth
Blend all the ingredients until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, adjust by adding a bit more almond milk until you reach your desired texture.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and maximum nutritional benefits.
