Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 medium banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Shredded coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by scooping the ripe avocado into your blender. The creamy texture will create a wonderfully smooth base for your drink.
- Add the coconut milk, allowing its tropical sweetness to mingle beautifully with the avocado.
- Next, toss in the baby spinach. Its fresh, green goodness adds a vibrant color and a boost of nutrients without compromising on taste.
- Combine with the sliced banana, which not only sweetens your smoothie naturally but also enhances its creamy consistency.
- Drizzle in the honey, followed by a splash of vanilla extract. The honey’s floral notes and the warm, inviting aroma of vanilla will elevate your drink to new heights.
- Add the ice cubes and blend until smooth. Take a moment to appreciate the vibrant green hue and the velvety texture as they come together in perfect harmony.
- Pour into glasses and, if desired, top with a sprinkle of shredded coconut for an extra touch of tropical flair.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For a fun twist, add a handful of pineapple chunks or a splash of lime juice for extra zing.
- Serve in a chilled glass for a refreshing experience, especially on hot days.
Storage and Substitutions
- Store any leftover smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Shake well before using.
- If you don’t have avocado on hand, try using Greek yogurt for a similar creamy texture.
- Frozen spinach can be used instead of fresh baby spinach if it’s more convenient.
Pairings and Complements
- This smoothie pairs perfectly with a plate of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
- For a delightful snack, enjoy it alongside a slice of whole-grain toast with almond butter.
