Avocado Banana Smoothie with Agave
Thick, velvety and gently sweet, with a mild nutty note from the avocado and ripe banana in the finish.
This is one of the simplest green smoothies you can make, and one of the most forgiving. Avocado supplies body and a buttery mouthfeel, and it is a well-known source of monounsaturated fat. Banana adds natural sugar and some potassium, so you rarely need much extra sweetener.
Because it is filling, the smoothie works well as a quick breakfast or as a small meal between appointments. Use it fresh: avocado darkens once cut, so the colour is best in the first half hour.
Yes, avocado, banana, water and agave syrup are all plant based.
It is best fresh, because avocado browns and the flavour turns flat. If you must, add a little lime juice and keep it airtight in the fridge.
Yes. Milk or an oat drink makes it creamier and a little richer.
