Whenever we travel, the one thing usually able to find, wherever we go, is a smoothie. Thankfully, they seem to be readily available and a great way to get in some vegetables and fruit. This creamy avocado smoothie base is a frozen banana, which creates a creamy, naturally sweet base. Next comes the star ingredient: avocado! Full of fiber and healthy fats, avocado makes this smoothie creamy and dreamy and thick, almost like a milkshake.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sliced frozen (or fresh) cucumber or berries
1/2 tsp. adaptogen of choice (maca, ashwagandha, etc.)
1 tbsp. seed of choice (flax, sesame, sunflower, chia, etc.)
1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
1 large handful greens of choice (spinach, kale, rainbow chard)
1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
1/2 medium ripe avocado
1 large frozen banana

Method

01

To a high-speed blender, add frozen banana, avocado, protein powder of choice, greens, and dairy-free milk. At this time, add any desired add-ins, such as adaptogens, seeds, or additional fruits and vegetables (such as berries or cucumbers).
02

Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. If the smoothie is too thick, add more dairy-free milk to thin. If too thin, add more frozen banana or avocado.
03

Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana for sweetness, avocado for creaminess, or greens for vibrant green color. Protein powder can also be used to add more sweetness (depending on brand/flavor).
04

Divide between serving glasses and enjoy! Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours or in the freezer up to 2 weeks.
