    Creamy Avocado Banana Smoothie
    Creamy Avocado Banana Smoothie

    This creamy, delectable avocado banana smoothie is a must-try! Full of healthy fats, and a wonderful creamy, thick texture, this smoothie is great for breakfast or snack.

    Creamy avocado banana smoothie

    My husband loves to make smoothies in the morning. So we like to mix it up and prepare smoothies with a variety of fruits and vegetables.

    As you can imagine, making a banana smoothie or milkshake is the easiest. Then we heard from a friend that avocado smoothie is delicious.

    At first we were not sure. We like to add natural sweetness to our smoothies. So we decided to combine bananas with avocado and make this Avocado Banana Smoothie!

    Avocados are so healthy and versatile. You can make a variety or smoothies and shakes with avocados. Add some greens, or nut butters, or dates. Change it up as you like!

    You can also call this an avocado banana milkshake. It has the creamiest texture I've ever seen. Bananas bring texture to smoothies, and avocado's smoothness adds richness and creaminess. Not to mention all the wonderful nutrition you get from the avocados.

    Added bonus - my picky daughter who otherwise does not touch avocados drinks this smoothie. So if you have picky kids at home, give this a try!

    Health Benefits

    Avocado is packed with healthy fats, potassium, fiber, and vitamins. 77% of the calories in an avocado are from fat. However, the majority of the fat in avocado is good fat, which improves heart health.

    Avocado is a great choice for adding creaminess to any dish. Check out my breakfast avocado chutney sandwich and the creamy avocado cilantro sauce.

    Bananas not only add a boost of nutrition to any smoothie recipe, but also act as the perfect natural sweetener. We like to make sure they are nice and ripened for maximum sweetness. The more spots, the sweeter the banana!

    You can also freeze the banana to get a creamier texture to the smoothie.

    Why you will love this Avocado Banana Smoothie?

    ✔ Healthy with all the wonderful ingredients.

    ✔ It has the best thick creamy texture.

    ✔ It is delicious and so versatile

    Ingredients you'll need

    • Avocado: To get a smooth and velvety texture, avocado should be perfectly ripe. It doesn't matter if it's fresh or frozen.
    • Banana: Use a ripe banana. It adds sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie. You can use fresh or frozen.
    • Milk: When making a smoothie, I prefer to use whole milk. However, you can use your favorite milk, such as 2%, 1%, non-fat, or almond milk.
    • Sweetener: I add honey, you can substitute with maple syrup, agave, or dates. If your banana is super ripe, feel free to skip adding a sweetener.
    • Garnish: Any nuts or mint leaves can be used as a garnish.
