Fancy making this banana and avocado smoothie?
It is hard to know what to call this!? A smoothie, a treat or both!
It is so thick and creamy and yummy I ate mine up with a spoon. Perfect meal for breakfast or lunch itself. An afternoon healthy treats covered too!
If you want to make it into more of a smoothie add a little bit more milk.
I always add peanut butter to my smoothies too. Something about peanut butter that makes them taste that bit better. I can always tell when we have run out of peanut butter too.
You will need:
- 1 Medium banana, peeled and chopped
- 1 Medium ripe avocado, peeled, stone removed and cubed
- 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter
- 225ml Semi-skimmed milk
Method:
- Pop the chopped banana and cubed avocado into a smoothie maker.
- Add peanut butter and semi skimmed milk and blitz until smooth.
- Pop a bit of peanut butter on the back of a spoon (if you wish) and rub around the inside of your glass. Makes it look cool and you can add some onto your spoon as you scoop it out.
- Pour into a glass and serve straight away.
I love avocado in a smoothie for a change. They are a little bit more expensive than the usual fruit I buy so more of a treat than my everyday smoothies.
Also, as mentioned I love to have peanut butter in all my smoothies, banana's too come to think about it.

DeleteIt looks pretty but sounds "strange" to me. I don't like bananas (love avocado) but I'm not sure I'd try this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ida. Not a good one for you if you don't like bananas. I've not tried avocado with anything else yet so I can't think what you could replace the banana with.
DeleteIt looks so yummy! I love avocado and peanut butter. I have to try it tomorrow! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Klara :)
