Smooth Creamy Delight
Lykkers friends, have you ever wanted to have a healthy and smooth drink in a busy morning or afternoon, but didn't know what to do? Today, we bring you a classic and super simple combination - Smoothie with Banana and Avocado.
It not only tastes smooth, but also allows us to get fullness and energy in just a few minutes, especially suitable for you and me in a fast-paced life.
How good is this smoothie?
Banana itself has a natural sweetness and soft texture, and it tastes as refreshing as ice cream after freezing. Avocado adds a silky and creamy taste. The combination of the two is like drinking a natural milkshake, which is fragrant but not greasy.
In addition to the excellent taste, this smoothie is also very nutritious. Bananas provide rich potassium and energy, and avocados are rich in dietary fiber and vegetable oils, which can also help us prolong satiety.
What do we need to prepare?
Here is a list of ingredients for making about 2 cups of smoothies (for about 1-2 people), all of which are common healthy ingredients:
- 1 medium banana (sliced and frozen in advance)
- ½ ripe avocado (pitted and peeled)
- 2 teaspoons of honey (can be increased or decreased according to personal taste)
- 5-6 ice cubes
- ⅔ cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or coconut milk (about 160ml)
Tips:
- Want a thicker consistency? Add less plant milk or more ice.
- Want a thinner consistency? Just add a little more plant milk.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Put the frozen banana slices, avocado cubes, honey, ice cubes and plant milk into the blender at once.
Step 2: Blend slowly first and then quickly
Turn on the blender and blend the ingredients at medium-low speed first. If you can't blend them, use the blender to push them a little. Once the ingredients are mixed, switch to medium-high speed and blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the smoothie becomes smooth and has no particles.
Step 3: Enjoy immediately
Pour the blended smoothie into a glass and enjoy. If you want to decorate it, sprinkle some cinnamon powder, chia seeds or a few banana slices to add to the appearance and nutrition.
