Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
1 banana
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cubes (optional)
Directions:
Prepare Ingredients: Start by adding the avocado, banana, almond milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and vanilla extract into a blender. If you’re using honey or maple syrup for added sweetness, include that as well.
Blend: Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. For a chilled smoothie, throw in a few ice cubes and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
Serving Tips:
Chill Your Glasses: For an extra touch of freshness, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring the smoothie. This helps keep your smoothie cold for longer.
Garnish: Top your smoothie with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a few banana slices for a decorative and tasty touch.
Pair It: This smoothie pairs well with a handful of granola or a few slices of whole-grain toast for a balanced breakfast or snack.
Straw or Spoon: Serve with a straw for a refreshing drink or a spoon if you prefer a thicker, spoonable smoothie.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: If you have leftovers, store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within 24 hours for the freshest taste and texture.
Separation: Natural separation may occur when stored. Simply give the smoothie a quick stir before serving to recombine the ingredients.
Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays or silicone molds. Blend the frozen cubes with a splash of almond milk to quickly make a fresh smoothie later.
