5 Minute Avocado Smoothie
5 Minute Avocado Smoothie
This avocado smoothie blends ripe avocado, banana, and milk into a thick, creamy drink with a texture closer to a milkshake than a typical fruit smoothie. The natural fats in avocado keep it satisfying for hours, while just a touch of honey balances the flavor without making it taste like dessert. Ready in five minutes flat, it is an easy way to start the day or refuel after a workout.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Add milk, honey, and vanilla to the blender.
- Add the avocado flesh and banana.
- Add ice cubes on top.
- Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth.
- Adjust consistency with more milk or ice as needed.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a fully ripe avocado with bright green flesh for the smoothest texture and flavor.
- Add liquid ingredients to the blender first for the smoothest, most even blend.
- Serve immediately, since avocado begins to oxidize and dull in color within 15 to 20 minutes.
- A high powered blender makes the biggest difference in achieving a silky texture with no graininess.
