Avocado Pineapple Smoothie with Banana
Creamy and velvety, with tropical pineapple sweetness and a mild, buttery background.
This recipe combines the creaminess of avocado with the tropical freshness of pineapple. Half an avocado and half a banana give a thick, silky body without any dairy, and the avocado adds mostly unsaturated fat, which makes the drink filling. Pineapple brings acidity, aroma and vitamin C, balancing the richness.
The flavor is closer to a piña colada without the coconut than to a green smoothie: sweet, fruity and soft. Drink it fresh, as avocado darkens over time. It works as breakfast or as a snack after exercise.
Hardly; the pineapple and banana dominate.
Yes, drained pineapple in juice works well.
Yes, it contains only fruit and water.
