Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1 banana
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the avocado, spinach, banana, and almond milk.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
3. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup and blend again.
4. Add ice cubes and blend until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency.
5. Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a slice of avocado on the rim, and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

• If you prefer a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of almond milk or add more ice.
• For a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
• Feel free to add other greens like kale or parsley for extra nutrition.
• If you don’t have fresh spinach, frozen spinach works just as well—just slightly reduce the amount of ice you add.

Storage Instructions

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in a sealed container. Give it a quick stir before drinking as separation might occur.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Replace almond milk with coconut milk, soy milk, or regular milk.
• For a lactose-free option, use any plant-based milk.
• Substitute honey or maple syrup with agave nectar or a few pitted dates for natural sweetness.

Pairings

This Avocado Spinach Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a slice of whole-grain toast topped with mashed avocado and a sprinkle of chia seeds. For a heartier breakfast, enjoy it alongside a bowl of oatmeal with fresh berries and nuts.
