Creamy Avocado Banana Green Smoothie

I made this but added 2tsp honey and a dash of cinnamon instead of the protein powder – yum

This was absolutely delicious. The avocado made it so creamy. I used a whole avocado (because I didn’t want the other half turning brown) and 1/2 frozen banana and it was perfect!

I can’t remember if I already left a review here, but I make a smoothie almost every day and this one is my go-to. Super nutritious but not fussy, so I don’t have to spend a long time washing and chopping different fruits and vegetables, which I greatly appreciate!

My husband gets cramp in his hands & legs at night so I looked up what would help which were the ingredients in your smoothie.
Hopefully if he has one daily it will help.
Many thanks

I really loved this smoothie..very healthy & filling..thank you for sharing

We found this recipe a few days ago and already have had it multiple days.. it’s seriously so good! I added spinach, chia seeds and cashews

Today, I made this with cucumber and it was delish! I excluded the protein powder because I am sensitive to high-histamine food. I am on the elimination phase of the autoimmune protocol and this is perfect!
Thanks!

I have been looking for a smoothie that includes avocados and almond milk. This was terrific: balanced, smooth and creamy. I added 1/2 c frozen blueberries and it added a nice blue color and a hint of sweetness. Will make it again and may add cubed cucumber instead.

I just made this using a 1/2 banana and 1/2 avocado (not frozen and it was super creamy) in my nutribullet with organic greens, hemp seeds, chia seeds, protein powder, ice cubes and unsweetened vanilla macadamia milk. I will try freezing bananas and avocados for tomorrow.
Delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

This smoothie is super delicious! The only think that for me it’s one portion no two ❤️ Thank you so much for your recipes 🙏🏻

This is great!!!

Tried this today and added a few slices of frozen peaches as well as a scoop of vanilla protein powder and it was great! Perfect consistency and very filling!

Omg! Make this smoothie for the first time in my life. I love it, sweet taste 👅. 💪

This is delicious! I am currently recovering from jaw surgery and I’ve been trying to find ways to fill out my liquid diet to make sure I’m getting the nutrients I need from my meals, as well as enjoy them. This smoothie has seriously saved me. I’m using kale as my green, and I’ve started freezing my avocado as well (because I went a little crazy when I first tried this and needed to save them from spoiling– if anyone else does this, be sure to peel and section it first). This recipe is perfect as is and I will continue to enjoy it after I recover. Thank you so much!

This was sooooo good. My only suggestions to someone just starting on their “smoothie journey” is to peel the banana before freezing. It took forever to get the peel off frozen. I also added a dash of OJ and 1/4 cup of Pelligrino water and a couple ice cubes. It was such a refreshing drink, I am making another tomorrow. Thank you!!

This is a fantastic recipe and has become my “flagship”, go-to smoothie. Makes a wonderful, satiating breakfast. Can’t beat how healthy this is either. it’s simplicity is where it shines – it’s not a ridiculous combination of 15 obscure fruits from southeast Asia and doesn’t rely on something expensive like pine nuts or authentic Iranian saffron threads (we all know those recipes are all over the internet these days). It’s just a wonderful combination. It’s a creamy, muted sweetness and boasts a flavor profile that is at first vibrant but not overwhelming.

Follow the recipe as instructed and you can’t mess this up. I agree with the writer that it’s a little “better” when everything is frozen (banana/greens/add-ins). I have used frozen avocado and it is amazing, though I think it’s not a big enough difference for anyone to care.

I toss in a tablespoon of Chia and about a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds. Gives a nice texture and adds some healthiness to the mix. I have also added matcha (1 tsp per smoothie) and it’s not super noticible to most, but if you’re a matcha person you’ll absolutely note the earthiness and sweetness it adds to this smoothie. A slam dunk, and the light caffienation is good for waking up and for mitigating hunger.

TL;DR – this is the one. Minimalist Baker got it right again.

First smoothie I liked with green. Very good. I like it better with 2-3 tbsp yogurt.

I used soy milk in mine because that’s what I had available. I also did not have any protein powder and through a little vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast in it (I know, not exactly the greatest choice). I still turned out great. Very smooth and creamy. If it weren’t for the aftertaste from the instant breakfast, it would have been perfect. Will definitely make it again.

Didn’t care too much for this smoothie.. it’s probably my fault though. Instead of protein powder, I added some PB2 Powder. I also added a tb of cacao and a squirt of lemon juice. I’d like to try this recipe exactly as posted when I acquire the necessary ingredients. If I do, I’ll be sure to post another review. Enjoy the rest of your day/night! <3

Perfect breakfast smoothie. Had frozen avocado and fresh banana, but otherwise followed the recipe. Added baby super greens mix (chard, kale & spinach), and flax seed.

I would use 2 cups milk because when i made it it was very thick. But it tastes very good!

I’ve been making this for the past 6 months as my breakfast go-to! I use rice milk, and add a small steamed sweet potato instead of the greens. Absolutely delicious!

I made it with just half an avocado and just half a banana, so the avocado would come through more predominately. Creamy and delicious!

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I do smoothies all the time but this recipe was a first for me and it turned out great! It was so creamy and I love the color. Ooh so delicious. Instead of mixed green I used spinach and added a pinch of flaxseed. Thanks again for sharing.

Replaced kale with spinach and it turned out so creamy and filling! Perfect <3

A Delicious smoothie!

This smootie was actually really yummy! ?
I used sweet almond vanilla milk instead of plain, spinach as my greens and added a tablespoon of peanutbutter! I almost drank both servings! Im fairly new to smoothies but this one is very good.

Thanks for sharing!

I put TWO stalks of kale in and it was too bitter – my fault. I put x3 shakes of Stevia in to try and alleviate the bitterness, but it was very KALEY !!!! Lesson learnt. I’ll do better next time – definately not your fault :-P

I added a bit of lemon juice and replaced vegetable milk for water.

Great recipe! I added Collagen peptides instead of protein powder and about a quarter cup (or 4 pieces) of frozen pineapple for sweetness and to brighten it up a bit, turned out delicious! Great post work out snack! Thanks ?

So good! I added some strawberries and used Complement protein powder (almond, chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seed, watermelon seed, yellow pea). Delicious and a super way to start the day. Thank you!

I like this smoothie but next time I shall freeze the banana and i also added a bit of maple syrup for sweetness cuz the Kale was super bitter for some reason.

Hi Dana, I’ve just finished this delicious smoothie!
I always make at least two large ones, so doubled most of the ingredients…oh, and also added the Peanut butter…great addition!
I substituted kale for the spinach, but will try spinach the next time…oh yes ..there WILL be a next time!! LOL
I love adding avocados to green smoothies, they’re perfect to keep them from being frothy.
It was creamy, thick and yummy!!! Definitely 5 stars!!
Thank you!

DELICIOUS! I replaced the vanilla powder and almond milk by using the silk almond vanilla flavored milk and it was amazing. Also added strawberries!

Delicious post-ride smoothie – I had the 2 portion quantity for myself & it was perfect ?

I had 2 year old frozen avocado lurking in the bottom of my freezer, and a month old brown banana lurking in the back of my fridge, I googled ‘avocado banana smoothie’ and found this recipe with 5 stars at the top of the list.
I used fresh spinach, oat milk, a handful of frozen blueberries, flax, Maca and some old coconut protein powder that I had, you guessed it, lurking in the back of a cupboard. Apart from a rather unappetising colour of grey-green clay (probably because of the blueberry addition) it was creamy, filling and bloomin’ delicious! Thanks :)

Delicious! Being new to smoothie making, I was a bit weary of mixing avo and banana,but it tasted fantastic. I added some ice as my banana wasn’t frozen and I used kale for my greens. Added a dash of cinnamon powder too! Thank you for this mouthwatering recipe!

GOOD MORNING! This smoothies is simply delicious. I was looking for morning smoothie with protein, and this one was blessing. Thank you ma’am.

I just made this simple amazing smoothie for breakfast and it was quick and delicious. I saw that you had different proteins but I tried my own it was vanilla Designer Whey which paired with it wonderfully and spinach but am considering the chard for next time.

Love this! Instead of milk and protein powder, I put in a protein shake (vanilla premier protein shake). I used frozen kale, avocado and banana with it…. loved it! Thank you so much for sharing!

Was intimidated to use avocado in a smoothie! I used half an avocado, and the result was VERY thick. I ended up adding an extra 1/2 banana, the optional 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1/2 cup more flax milk with a dash of cinnamon. I bet this would be delicious with vanilla – I used hemp protein which usually unfortunately emits a grass-clipping like taste into all my smoothies, but this particular smoothie didn’t pick that up. I was very glad.

No longer as scared to use avocado in my blender! For me, thats a huge victory because as a plant based runner I eat well above 4,000 calories a day, so finding high calorie recipes that don’t involve nuts is a huge victory. Not that I don’t LOVE nuts, but when everything you eat is caked in nut butter, things can get repetitive :/

Really love what you put out Dana – Keep it up – I’m a huge fan

Love this! My first banana avocado smoothie. I used a whole avocado so I had to add a little extra unsweetened almond milk. I added 1 tbsp each of chia and hemp seeds. Very creamy!

Love this! I haven’t been disappointed with all the smoothies I have tried from your website but my favorite is the chocolate smoothie. This one also taste great without adding any form of sugar. I put baby spinach and skipped the protein powder since I don’t have one. Thanks for the great recipes!

Holy smokes, this was incredible – I had no idea it would be so delicious. I made mine with Orgain Slim Vanilla Protein Powder and homemade coconut-cashew nut milk…it turned out so creamy and beautiful. A little too thick for a straw, so I poured it into a bowl, sprinkled it with hemp hearts and ate it with a spoon.
Home run!!! Adding this to my weekly repertoire.

Thanks for the amazing recipes, Dana – keep ’em coming!

I made one and it’s delicious! I used cottage cheese instead of protein powder and I was amazed with the taste after. ?

Loved it! Thank you for sharing♡

I tried it for breakfast this morning using spinach and it was deliciously smooth. I am looking forward to adding a little cinnamon the next time for a little kick but I loved it! Thank you!

This was a bomb smoothie!! full of flavor and definitely filled me up as a breakfast replacement… I decided to substitute the protein powder for a Oikos protein banana flavored yogurt and added some water instead of milk to cut the dairy since I already added the yogurt, thinking maybe a little bit of honey would have been good too.SOOOO Yummmy, definitely making another one soon! thanks

This is so delicious! Just tried it for a bit of variety, and this is definitely a new favorite! Thank you!

I had never added avocado to my smoothies and it sure does make it smooth and very thick. Great flavor even with plain, unsweetened protein powder.

This is an amazing smoothie recipe! I didn’t have any protein powder, but I used vanilla extract to give it a little more flavor. I also doubled the amount of kale in the recipe, so I did 1/2 an avocado to balance it out. Turned out super creamy and delicious!

Really good! Mine did not look as pretty and vibrant as yours LOL but still awesome! Thank you

I tried out this smoothie yesterday with the addition of hemp, frozen berries, and maca – absolutely delicious! I was a little worried there’d be an overwhelming taste of avocado, but the avocado flavour was completely concealed by the other flavours. I loved how creaminess of the smoothie!

Yum!!!!! This smooth was delish! I tired it yesterday…used everything called for in the recipe (chose hemp hearts, blueberry & macca). Wow. I am making it again today.
Thank you for such amazing recipes….I’m not vegan/vegetarian/gluten free but I make your recipes often!

I made this for breakfast this morning and it was SO good!! It’s really more like a breakfast milkshake :) I used ripple unsweetened milk for extra protein + added flax and chia seeds. It was a little thick, but I think that was due to the chia seeds and the milk being thick. This has become my breakfast for the week!

Avocado has the best power on skin. this satisfying for body. ;-).
Ill keep in mind to mix these to my avocado smoothie.

Awesome. This is the best recipe of Avocado that i tasted in recent times. Too good. Having this in morning breakfast after a long workout in my garden is so refreshing, Thank you again.

I made this for breakfast this morning! I used the add-ins too! (Maca powder and cucumber). Didn’t have to adjust anything! Tasted absolutely amazing. Thank you for this awesome recipe!

I like this smoothie with baby spinach and I always add some cinnamon! Gives it a nice touch :)
Greetings,
Anna
