ALMOND, BANANA, AVOCADO SMOOTHIE WITH HONEY

Here’s a  recipe for an Almond, Banana, Avocado Smoothie with Honey:

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess.

• 1/2 ripe avocado: Provides smooth texture, healthy fats, and makes the smoothie extra creamy.

• 1/4 cup almonds (or almond butter): Adds a nutty flavor and a dose of protein and healthy fats.

• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based): Almond milk, oat milk, or regular cow’s milk can work depending on your preference.

• 1 tablespoon honey: Sweetens the smoothie naturally and enhances the flavor.

• Ice cubes (optional): For a chilled and refreshing texture.

• Optional toppings: Sliced almonds, chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Banana: Peel the banana and slice it into chunks.

   • Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh using a spoon.

   • Almonds: If you’re using whole almonds, consider chopping them or soaking them in water for a few hours to make them easier to blend. Alternatively, you can use almond butter for smoother blending.

2. Blending:

   • Place the banana, avocado, and almonds (or almond butter) into a blender.

   • Add the honey for sweetness.

   • Pour in the milk of your choice. Start with about 1 cup and add more if you’d like a thinner consistency.

   • Add ice cubes if you prefer your smoothie to be extra cold and refreshing.

3. Blend until smooth:

   • Blend on high for 30-45 seconds, or until everything is fully combined and the texture is smooth and creamy.

4. Adjust consistency:

   • If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired texture.

   • If you want it sweeter, add more honey to taste.

5. Serve:

   • Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.

   • You can optionally top it with a sprinkle of sliced almonds, chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey.

Tips:

• For extra nutrition: Add a handful of spinach or kale for some greens without altering the taste much.

• For a protein boost: You can add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt.

• To make it dairy-free: Use plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk.
