This version turns the usual ratio around: more avocado, less banana. The result is a thick, velvety glass with a buttery taste and only a light sweetness.
1
avocado ripe, flesh only
½
banana
6 oz

1 tsp
agave syrup to taste (optional)

Extra Creamy Avocado Banana Smoothie
Very thick and velvety, buttery and mild, with a light banana sweetness.
Most avocado smoothies use the avocado as a supporting player; here it is the main ingredient. A whole avocado provides a lot of monounsaturated fat and makes the drink rich and filling, close to a small meal. Half a banana adds just enough sweetness, and agave syrup is there if you want more. Because the flavour is so mild, it is a good base for additions such as cocoa, lime or vanilla. Drink it fresh, as avocado darkens once cut.
It makes a rich, filling smoothie; use half if you prefer something lighter.
Avocado oxidises in air; drink it soon or add a little lime juice.
Yes, it contains only avocado, banana, water and agave syrup.
