Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 banana, peeled
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions:

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the creamy flesh into your blender.
2. Add the spinach leaves, ensuring they’re fresh and clean. Feel the crisp, green goodness as you pile them in.
3. Break the banana into chunks and add them to the blender. This will add a natural sweetness and smooth texture to your smoothie.
4. Spoon in the Greek yogurt, giving it that delightful creamy richness and a subtle tanginess.
5. Pour in the almond milk, allowing the nutty aroma to complement the other fresh ingredients.
6. If you like a touch of extra sweetness, drizzle in the honey.
7. Top it off with ice cubes to make your smoothie extra refreshing and blend everything on high until smooth and velvety.
8. Pour the vibrant, green smoothie into two glasses, sprinkling chia seeds on top for a little nutritious garnish if you like.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• Ingredient Substitution: Feel free to use any milk alternative like soy or oat milk if you prefer.
• Added Flavor: For an extra zing, add a squeeze of lemon juice to your smoothie.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve in chilled glasses and enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
• Occasion Adjustments: For a kids’ party, pour the smoothie into fun, colorful cups and add a little umbrella for an extra festive touch.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Storage: If you have extra smoothie, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir before drinking as it may settle.
• Substitutions:
  • If avocados are out of season, you can substitute with half a frozen banana and a tablespoon of nut butter for a similar creamy texture.
  • Replace honey with maple syrup or agave to make it vegan.

Pairings and Complements:

• Pair your Spinach Avocado Smoothie with a wholesome granola bar or a fresh fruit salad for a perfectly balanced snack.
