4 Ingredient Banana Green Smoothie Recipe

This creamy avocado smoothie is easy to make, requiring just 4 ingredients, 1 blender, and 5 minutes.

The base is frozen banana, which creates a creamy, naturally sweet base. Next comes the star ingredient: avocado! Full of fiber and healthy fats, avocado makes this smoothie creamy and dreamy and thick, almost like a milkshake.

Ingredients

  • 1 large frozen banana (ripe // peeled // sliced)

  • 1/4 – 1/2 medium ripe avocado (more avocado = creamier, thicker smoothie)

  • 1 large handful greens of choice (spinach, kale, rainbow chard // I like mine frozen)

  • 3/4 – 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)

Optional Add Ins

  • 1 Tbsp seed of choice (hemp, flax, sesame, sunflower, chia, etc.)

  • 1/2 tsp adaptogen of choice (maca, ashwagandha, etc.)

  • 1/2 cup sliced frozen (or fresh) cucumber or berries (organic when possible)

Instructions

To a high-speed blender, add frozen banana, avocado, greens, and dairy-free milk. At this time, add any desired add-ins, such as adaptogens, seeds, or additional fruits and vegetables (such as berries or cucumbers).

Blend on high until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana for sweetness, avocado for creaminess, or greens for vibrant green color.
