Banana nectar is a practical shortcut here: it brings banana flavour and sweetness without a whole fruit. Avocado makes the smoothie velvety, kiwi keeps it fresh.
½
avocado ripe, flesh only
1
kiwi peeled
1¾ oz
banana nectar
3½ oz
water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and smooth, with soft banana sweetness, a fresh kiwi tang and mild avocado.
Banana nectar, made from banana purée, water and usually some sugar, is common in German supermarkets and gives drinks a smooth banana taste. Here it balances the tartness of the kiwi and the mild, buttery avocado. Kiwi adds vitamin C, avocado monounsaturated fat and a creamy texture.
This green smoothie suits a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack. If you cannot find banana nectar, half a ripe banana and a little more water give a similar result with no added sugar.
It is usually sold as banana nectar, a drink made from banana purée, water and often sugar.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
It is best fresh, as avocado darkens and the flavour dulls within a few hours.
