Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Hass avocados Large
- 1 Banana Large
- 1 cup Milk (Dairy or non-dairy: Oat, Almond, Coconut, or your favorite)
- 4 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (or Coconut Sugar, or sugar-free option like Xylitol)
Toppings
- ¼ cup Ricotta cheese whipped (optional — omit for lighter calories or a dairy-free version)
- Soaked raw nuts like slivered almonds or pine nuts
- Sliced strawberries, bananas, mango, kiwi pineapple or of your favorite fruit
- Extra drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free sweetener
Instructions
- In a blender, add the avocado, banana, milk of choice, and sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or alternative). Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow it to chill and set into a pudding-like consistency.
- Place it in the fridge for, at least, an hour before serving.
- Top with your favorite fruit, ashta or whipped ricotta cheese, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and soaked nuts.
Whipped Ricotta (Optional)
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup until smooth and fluffy.
- Before serving, top the chilled avocado banana cream with fresh Fruit, soaked Nuts, and (if using) whipped Ricotta. Drizzle with Honey, Maple Syrup, or a sugar-free syrup if desired.
- Serve cold and enjoy as a light meal or healthy dessert.

Notes
Milk Options: You can use dairy milk for a creamier, protein-rich base, or non-dairy alternatives (oat, almond, or coconut) for a vegan and lighter version.
Ricotta Cheese: Completely optional — adds richness and protein. Omit for fewer calories or replace with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
Sweeteners: Honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar give a natural sweetness. For sugar-free, try monk fruit, stevia, or xylitol.
Consistency: For a thicker pudding-like result, add extra avocado. For a thinner smoothie, add more milk.
