Introduction

This Banana Avocado Almond Milk Smoothie is a creamy, nutrient-packed treat perfect for breakfast or a refreshing snack. Combining the natural sweetness of banana and date with the richness of avocado and almond butter creates a deliciously smooth drink that’s both satisfying and healthy.

A clear tall glass is being filled with a thick, creamy smoothie that is light greenish-yellow with small brown specks, pouring down from above into a layer of the same smoothie already at the bottom of the glass. To the left, a halved avocado showing its green flesh and brown seed, and a yellow banana are slightly out of focus. The glass sits on a white marbled surface with a soft gray fabric blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 small banana, chopped into small pieces
¼ medium avocado
¾ cup almond milk
1 Medjool date, pitted
1 tablespoon almond butter
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon moringa powder (optional)
1 handful ice cubes

Instructions

Step 1: Place the chopped banana, avocado, almond milk, pitted Medjool date, almond butter, cinnamon, moringa powder (if using), and ice cubes into a blender.
Step 2: Blend for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 3: Pour the smoothie into a cup and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Tips & Variations

For extra sweetness, add a little honey or maple syrup if your date isn’t sweet enough.
Swap almond butter for peanut or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
Use frozen banana pieces instead of ice cubes for a thicker, colder smoothie.
Omit moringa powder if you prefer a milder taste or want to avoid its earthy flavor.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking as natural separation may occur. Avoid freezing as the texture may change once thawed.

How to Serve
