If you’re into plant based smoothies, you’re in for a treat! There are countless combinations to make a smoothie using fruit and veggies to load up on. And this tasty recipe is a great example.

Have you ever tried avocado in a smoothie? The result is silky smooth and feels luxurious, with its surprising texture.

What I especially love about this avocado banana almond milk smoothie is that it is very easy to prepare and satiating, making it perfect for breakfast, a delicious way to start the day.

Ingredients Highlight

The complete list of ingredients with measurements, can be found in the full recipe card below.

Ingredients laid out on a white benchtop

In most smoothies I make using bananas, I always ensure they are ripe to minimize adding additional sweetness. For example, in my mango strawberry with peanut butter version, I also use a single Medjool date to add sweetness. Break the banana into pieces before adding it to the blender.

Ripe avocado in a smoothie creates the ultimate silky smoothie experience. It can be added directly into the blender without chopping up. I like using a quarter of a small to medium avocado.

I use a small amount of almond butter and milk, keeping this smoothie dairy-free. Here’s a quick video of how to make almond milk . If you’d like to make a smoothie without milk, try this dragon fruit and coconut water one, it’s so pretty!

This next ingredient is optional, but I like to throw in a spoonful of Moringa powder for a caffeine-free energy booster. You can swap this out for matcha powder.

Janelle's Tips 

  • Any blender will work. However, a high powered blender is the quickest and will yield a smoother/silkier result. If your blender doesn’t have a smoothie setting, just blend until all the contents are blended.
  • Feel free to adjust the quantities of the ingredients to suit your liking. Generally speaking, I rarely measure when making smoothies as they are so easy to prepare.
  • Almond milk can be replaced with any type of dairy free milk. You can adjust the thickness of this smoothie by adding less or more.
  • If you like this smoothie recipe, you will love my banana peach flavored one.
