Almond Banana Avocado Smoothie

Almond banana avocado smoothie has become my secret weapon for busy mornings when I want something creamy, energizing, and totally satisfying. One morning after a long run I stood in my kitchen craving a breakfast that would feel like a treat but still be healthy so I opened my pantry and grabbed some almonds and ripe bananas and spotted a perfectly soft avocado in the fruit basket so I knew exactly what to do!

I tossed everything into my blender with a splash of almond milk and when I took that first sip it felt like a little reward for getting up early and moving my body so now whenever I need a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up this smoothie is my go-to choice because it’s rich silky and keeps me full for hours.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. Feel free to adjust or swap as you like!
• Banana – Naturally sweet and creamy, it forms the base of the smoothie.
• Avocado – Makes the smoothie extra thick and velvety, plus adds healthy fats.
• Almond milk – A light dairy-free liquid that blends everything smoothly.
• Almond butter – Adds a nutty depth and extra protein.
• Honey or maple syrup – For a gentle natural sweetness if needed.
• Chia seeds – A great boost of fiber and omega-3s, plus fun texture on top.
• Sliced almonds – A crunchy finishing touch.
• Ice cubes – Helps chill and thicken the smoothie.

Tools You’ll Need

• Blender – Essential for breaking down all the ingredients into a silky smooth texture.
• Measuring cups – I use these to get the right proportions every time.
• Spoon – Handy for scooping out the avocado and almond butter easily.
• Glass or bowl – For serving your creamy creation beautifully.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

I start by peeling the banana and slicing the avocado in half then removing the pit and scooping out the flesh.

Step 2: Add to blender

I add the banana, avocado, almond milk, almond butter, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup into the blender. If I want it extra cold, I toss in a few ice cubes too.

Step 3: Blend until smooth

I blend everything on high until it’s completely smooth and creamy. Sometimes I stop and scrape down the sides to make sure nothing gets left behind.

Step 4: Pour and top

I pour the smoothie into a glass or bowl and then sprinkle chia seeds and sliced almonds on top. I like adding a few banana slices too for an extra fresh touch.

Step 5: Enjoy immediately

I grab a spoon or straw and enjoy it right away while it’s perfectly chilled and creamy.

Tips

If you want to boost the protein content even more, I sometimes add a scoop of vanilla or plain protein powder. I also love adding a handful of spinach for a hidden veggie boost without changing the taste much. For a thicker smoothie bowl style, I recommend using frozen banana slices and less liquid.

Ways to Serve

I enjoy serving this almond banana avocado smoothie in a tall glass as a drink or in a bowl topped with granola, berries, and extra nuts for a hearty breakfast. It’s also a great on-the-go snack when poured into a jar with a tight lid.
