Avocado Banana Spinach Smoothie

05/01/2013

Don’t knock it until you try it folks.

Avocado Banana Spinach Smoothie

This is honestly SO good.

I’m biased because I am OBSESSED with avocados. But I’ve made this before for non-avocado obsessed friends at brunch time and they were equally excited.

This is a great way to use up those browning bananas and avocados on your countertop. Alternatively, you could use frozen bananas and avocadosΒ (yes, just peel the avocados, remove the pits, throw them in a Ziploc bag, and stick them in the freezer), in which case you’ll want to reduce the amount of ice.

I find that it doesn’t need any extra sweetener because the bananas and coconut water themselves are already sweet, but add a dash of honey,Β or even almond butter,Β if your little heart desires.

Take note, this isn’t really a complete meal because there’s no denseΒ protein in the recipe, but if you’re looking for a sweet healthy treat or need to carb-load following an intense workout, or you’re justΒ sick of eating scrambled eggs for breakfast every day (*cough),Β or if you or your kidsΒ just really enjoy the color green, this does the trick.

This recipe makesΒ one ginormous smoothie forΒ one very hungry person or 2 snack-sized smoothies for two people.

Enjoy, and happy 1st day of May!

We decorated the rest of this client’s home in vibrant blues and purples so I wanted to continue that color story in their main bedroom but in a more muted, calming way. This couple is obviously not afraid of pattern mixing (😍) and it was truly such a joy to hand select fabrics for each element in the room. 🎶
