1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
Ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker texture)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Peel the banana and remove the pit from the avocado. Scoop the flesh of the avocado into the blender.
Blend the Smoothie:
Add the banana, almond butter (or almond milk), almond milk, and any optional ingredients (honey, cinnamon, and ice cubes) into a blender.
Blend Until Smooth:
Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust:
Taste the smoothie and add a little more honey or cinnamon if you want a sweeter or spicier kick.
Serve:
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately while it’s fresh and chilled!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving:
This smoothie is best served immediately for the freshest taste and texture. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped almonds, or a few banana slices for added flair.
Storage:
If you have leftovers, store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. However, the texture may change slightly as the smoothie may separate. Simply give it a good stir before consuming. For longer storage, you can freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays and blend the cubes later for a quick, cold drink.
