Rich, thick and deep green: this smoothie leans on avocado for body and on banana for sweetness. Spinach deepens the colour, and a little agave balances it if you like.

Avocado Banana Smoothie with Spinach
Rich and velvety, only mildly sweet, with buttery avocado, soft banana and a clean green note.
This green smoothie uses a full avocado, which gives it a dense, almost pudding-like texture. Avocado is known for its monounsaturated fat and makes the drink filling. Half a banana provides sweetness and rounds out the flavour, while baby spinach adds folate, vitamin K and colour.
Because the fruit share is low, the smoothie is only mildly sweet. Taste it and add agave syrup if you want more sweetness. It suits a breakfast that has to last until lunch or a substantial snack.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
No, only mildly. Add agave syrup, dates or more banana if you like it sweeter.
It is best fresh because avocado browns. A little lime juice and an airtight jar keep it for a few hours.
