Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Soak the almonds: If using whole almonds, soak them in water overnight to soften them. If you’re short on time, you can use almond butter instead.
- Peel and slice the banana: Peel the banana and slice it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh.
Step 2: Blend the Smoothie
- Add ingredients to the blender: In a blender, combine the soaked almonds (or almond butter), banana slices, avocado flesh, milk, and honey or maple syrup (if using). If you want a chilled smoothie, add ice cubes.
- Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Step 3: Serve
- Pour and serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Garnish (optional): You can garnish the smoothie with a sprinkle of chopped almonds, a slice of banana, or a few spinach leaves for an extra touch.
Tips for a Perfect Smoothie
- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas add natural sweetness to the smoothie.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie before serving and add more honey or maple syrup if needed.
- Customize: Feel free to add other ingredients like a handful of spinach for extra nutrients, a tablespoon of chia seeds for added fiber, or a scoop of protein powder to boost the protein content.
