Creamy Avocado Banana Smoothie
This creamy avocado banana smoothie with spinach is one of my all-time favorite green smoothies.
If there was a meteor heading towards earth and I had an hour to live, I’d spend it eating avocado – guacamole, avocado pudding, avocado ice cream, avocado dressing, avocado gazpacho, avocado toast, avocado tempura, and anything else could stuff an avo into! I eat two to three avocados a day, and I have no intention of stopping.
Also known as God’s butter, this green goddess is full of fabulous fats that are mostly heart-healthy monounsaturates that tame toxins; neutralize acids, balance blood sugar and hormones; support the adrenals, metabolize fats; regulate cholesterol; and nourish the skin, tissues, and joints. Amped up with antioxidants like vitamins A, C, E, and K and glutathione; alkalizing chlorophyll, fiber, potassium, and B vitamins, this anti-inflammatory avenger is a detox diva. Throw in the fabulous flavor and it’s no wonder that there’s always a rotation of avocados in our house.
I add avocados to smoothies to boost nutrient potential, thicken blends and add a creamy quality, and temper the effects of high-sugar fruits. Except for an avocado gazpacho-style smoothie, our beloved avocado is rarely the star of a sweet smoothie.
I continue to be haunted by a phenomenal avocado pudding my friends and I scoffed at a macrobiotic restaurant in Portugal while we were touring with a theater show years ago. We’d walk 30 minutes there and back to get our fix. Then, some years later on the other side of the world in Indonesia I had my first experience with an avocado smoothie. It was heavenly, but drenched in heavy sugar syrup.
I had to replicate the avocado divinity with a healthier halo. This quick, easy avocado smoothie does the trick for me, and feeds my avocado addiction.
Don’t miss making this avocado banana smoothie. It is delicious.
