Creamy Avocado Smoothie

I hadn’t used avocado in a smoothie until recently and I’m glad I tried it because it makes the texture smooth and creamy. I will definitely be using avocado in more recipes. 

I used a pitted date to sweeten this smoothie a little bit, but feel free to add maple syrup or another sweetener if you’d like. You could also make it without this. 

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • A handful of spinach
  • ½ of an avocado
  • 1 pitted date or a little bit of maple syrup
  • A scoop of protein powder (optional)
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • About 5 ice cubes

Directions

  1. Blend all the ingredients together.
  2. Pour into a glass and top with anything you’d like (I used hemp seeds).
