"My fondness for particular ingredients runs in spurts. Right now I'm a woman on a mission to find & binge on AVOCADO recipes. The idea for this recipe did not originate w/me. I found a recipe for an avocado smoothie by Amy @ chewoutlouddotcom & modified it to better suit our taste preferences. It's a bit of a smoothie adventure because I like oats & bananas in a smoothie (not in her recipe). Spinach leaves were a part of her recipe, but DH cannot abide them. So these items were all listed as optional for this recipe. That said, I hope you'll give it a try & share your favorite combo of ingredients w/me. Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine the 1st 4 ingredients in a blender & blend until smooth.

Step 2

Choose your desired optional ingredients (oats, banana or spinach leaves) & blend again.

Step 3

Adjust for desired consistency by adding crushed ice.

Step 4

Serve immediately or chill to serve later. (If serving later, place cling wrap directly over surface of smoothie to prevent any change of color.

NOTE #1: Yield is 3 large smoothies (or 4 smaller)


NOTE #2: If you opt to use the banana as an ingredient, I suggest using only half the amt of the honey as the banana will add natural sweetness. You can always add more honey after a taste test if desired


NOTE #3: I have a wide-mouth jar w/a lid that I use often for recipes like this & then I reach for my trusty hand-held blender so I can get the job done easily & use the jar for storage of any excess


Tips


  • Standard blender or hand-held stick blender (my choice)

Daily Inspiration

We thoroughly enjoyed this smoothie. The banana and avocado are always something that I use in a breakfast smoothie, but the coconut milk really added a nice flavor component. I added the spinach, but left out the oats - probably should have included them as they are so good for you. : )
