I was out buying my favorite smoothie one afternoon and it occurred to me how much a smoothie may have a place in our lives. Having a glass of smoothies alongside us, is not only tasty but a fun way to indulge while nourishing our bodies. What a WIN WIN that is!
Let me show you how to make an avocado banana smoothie from the comfort of your own home and be sure to take a look at the attached video in the recipe card at the end of the page!
How to make Avocado Banana Smoothie Recipe
The procedure for preparing an avocado smoothie using the avocado banana recipe is simple. Following the procedures above will result in the finest avocado smoothie you’ve ever eaten! Let’s have a look.
1. In a blender, combine the banana, avocado, milk of choice, honey, or maple syrup on medium speed. Blend until completely smooth.
2. Transfer to an airtight container or a serving bowl with a lid. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
You’ll need to whip the ricotta cheese beforehand if you’re planning to top it with it. Whip ¼ cup ricotta cheese with a whisk or fork to achieve this. Add 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to it, and you’re done! Enjoy every sip of your avocado smoothie cup!
Avocado Smoothie Benefits
This avocado smoothie is high in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats, which is one of the most noticeable elements I’ve discovered. Antioxidants aid in the removal of pollutants from the body as well as the reduction of inflammation. Fibers, on the other hand, help the digestive process.
Why add soaked nuts?
Almonds and other raw nuts are among the other items we’ve added. Apart from avocado, they are also a good source of healthful fats. Bananas are also incredibly healthy because they are high in vitamins B, C, and magnesium, all of which are quite important for the body. They also contain a lot of fiber and add a delicious flavor to every bite.
With all of the advantages we’ve seen thus far, it’s reasonable to say that an avocado banana smoothie is a good choice for your daily food intake.
Fruits that go well with Avocado Smoothie
Aside from bananas, there are a variety of additional fruits that might enhance the flavor of your avocado smoothie. Here’s a list of fruits that go well with the drink.
Orange
Oranges add a tart but refreshing flavor to your avocado smoothie. You receive a lot more just by adding oranges to your blender when they’re combined with avocado nutrition. For all of the alternate fruits that we’ll be discussing, the rest of the components can be kept the same.
Mango
Mangoes are yet another fruit that pairs well with avocado. So, what do you think it would taste like if you blended them to form a smoothie? That’s correct, each sip of the stunning bright yellow-green liquid will give your soul a new lease on life. Refrigerate the smoothie before serving to take the flavor to the next level.
Strawberries
Strawberries are loved by all. When strawberry and avocado are combined, the flavor is likely to soar to new heights. The entire smoothie will be high in nutrients, and your body will receive the much-needed refreshment.
Blueberries
Bring out the blueberries straight from the refrigerator if you want to try something different. Many people prefer blueberries in avocado smoothies because they enhance the avocado’s creamy flavor. So the next time you raise a drink of avocado blended with blueberry to toast your pals, pour them a glass of avocado blended with blueberry.

Have you ever had an avocado smoothie? Back when I was living in Michigan before I was married, I would often grab an avocado smoothie at lunch time from a local restaurant called Mangoes and omg!
It was such a treat that I often craved! So last night, he said… “I know exactly what we’re having tonight, we are having avocado smoothies” and of course I was all in!!
I always looked forward to getting my smoothie fix at least once a week! It is delicious like dessert and hits the spot!
Beside the fact that it’s whipped like a pudding, it is as filling as a meal and includes healthy fats! You can top it with ashta cream which is totally optional or add whipped ricotta, strawberries, mangoes, pineapple, blueberries or any of your favorite fruit. Don’t forget to add some soaked raw nuts and a drizzle of raw honey!!!
Tips For The Best Consistency
If you want a thicker smoothie, you can simply add extra avocado. If you’re looking for something other than honey or maple syrup as a sugar-free solution for your drink, Xylitol is a lovely alternative. This smoothie is also great served chilled. As a result, chill for 1-2 hours before serving.
Ingredients
When it comes to making a delicious avocado smoothie, we use whatever ingredients we have on hand in the kitchen. Making an avocado banana smoothie using the following ingredients, on the other hand, will reward you with a glass of healthy, yet tasty, avocado banana smoothie. This is since bananas are our other main ingredient. To create this delectable creamy green smoothie, gather the following ingredients:
Hass avocados

Honey, maple syrup or sweetener of choice

soaked raw nuts like cashew, slivered almonds, and pine nuts

How long does an unrefrigerated avocado banana smoothie last?
If you leave your avocado smoothie unrefrigerated overnight and expect it to stay fresh, you’re mistaken. According to a recent study conducted in the United States, you can only keep drinks like avocado smoothies unrefrigerated for 2 hours. Because it’s a perishable food, this smoothie should be kept chilled. It’s best not to eat it if it’s been out of the fridge for more than 2 hours.
If you want to store your smoothie overnight, simply refrigerate it and you won’t have to worry about it becoming unhealthy to eat.

The best fruit to pari with avocados are banana, mango, blueberry, strawberries, kiwi, clementine, and watermelon
Very similar to my recipe this recipes calls for less avocado and no banana. 1 avocado, 1 cup milk of choice, 2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup ( add extra for a sweeter taste) and blend
Non-dairy milk and yogurt are both readily accessible at your local grocery shop like oat, almond or coconut milk.
Avocado adds a silky smooth texture to smoothies and also thickens the consistency. It has a nutty but sweet flavor which is mild and compliments most smoothies
Adding sweet fruits to your drink is the most natural method to make it sweeter. The avocado banana smoothie is made sweeter by the banana that is added to it. Xylitol, on the other hand, can be used as a honey alternative.
If your avocado smoothie is too thin you can add another ½ of an avocado and it will do the trick. If you avocado smoothie is too thick then try adding 3 tablespoons of desired choice of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
It can be! Be sure to use dairy free milk and sweetener like maple syrup or cane sugar and you have yourself a vegan avocado smoothie. Skip on the whipped ricotta cheese since that is not dairy free unless you find dairy free ricotta at your local grocery store.
