How to Make Avocado Smoothie (Overview)

Making an Avocado Smoothie is as easy as pie—er, smoothie! Start by cutting your avocado and tossing everything into your blender. Give it a whirl until it resembles a silky dream.

How to Serve Avocado Smoothie

The vibrant green will brighten your day, and the aroma of fresh banana and lime will make your mouth water. Pair it with a slice of whole-grain toast for a powerhouse breakfast or snack.

How to Store Avocado Smoothie

So, how long does it last? You can store your smoothie in the fridge for about 1 day. Just make sure to give it a good shake before drinking, as separation can happen. Want to prep ahead? Just store the ingredients in the fridge, and blend when you’re ready! 🍃

Tips to Make Avocado Smoothie

Here are some insider tips for your smoothie success:

• Choose a ripe avocado: It should yield slightly when gently pressed. Too hard, and you’ll blend a brick!
• Banana ripeness: The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie—no need for additional sweeteners.
• Experiment with milk: Try coconut milk for a tropical twist or oat milk for creaminess galore.

Variations

Feeling creative? Try these ideas for a little twist on your smoothie:

• Add greens: Toss in a handful of spinach for extra nutrients (but your kids won’t be able to taste it!).
• Berry Blast: Swap the banana for a cup of frozen berries for a fruity explosion and a fun color.
• Nutty Divergence: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty flavor that’s also filling.

Feel free to add an extra half avocado or a bit more banana if you like it thicker.
