Avocado Banana Smoothie with Blackberries
Thick and velvety, with sweet banana, tart blackberry and a buttery avocado base.
This is a classic creamy smoothie formula: avocado for body and fat, banana for sweetness, and a dark berry for flavour and colour. Blackberries work especially well because their acidity cuts through the richness. They are a good source of fibre, and their small seeds add a bit of texture. The smoothie is dense and filling, closer to a small meal than a drink, and suits breakfast or a snack after training.
