Best Fruit Smoothie Recipes

Prep Time7 minutes
Total Time7 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana preferably frozen
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ½ medium avocado
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder optional
  • 1 cup ice omit if using a frozen banana

Instructions

  • Add the liquid (almond milk) to your blender first. This helps everything blend smoothly and prevents your blender’s motor from straining.
  • Next, add the softer ingredients: the spinach, avocado, and almond butter. The liquid at the bottom will help pull these down into the blades.
  • Finally, add the frozen elements—the banana and ice.
  • The weight of these on top helps press the other ingredients down.
  • Blend on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add another handful of ice.
  • Pour into a glass and consume immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • Congrats, you’re a smoothie pro.
