Few smoothies look this green. Spinach gives the colour, avocado a smooth, almost silky body, and a baby banana just enough sweetness to make it pleasant rather than earthy.

Avocado Spinach Smoothie with Baby Banana
Creamy and mild, green and fresh, with a gentle banana sweetness.
This is a classic green smoothie in its simplest form. Baby spinach provides the colour and a little fibre, avocado supplies monounsaturated fats and creaminess, and the baby banana balances everything. Because avocado has almost no sugar, the drink is less sweet than fruit heavy smoothies; add agave syrup if you prefer. It is filling enough to replace a small breakfast and quick to make before work.
Only slightly; avocado and banana soften the leafy taste.
Yes, half a regular banana replaces one baby banana.
Yes, it contains only vegetables, fruit, water and agave syrup.
