Avocado Banana Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana – peeled and sliced
• 0.5 ripe avocado – pitted and scooped from skin
• 1 cup spinach leaves – loosely packed, rinsed and dried
• 0.5 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup milk – cold
• 1 tbsp honey
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon – plus a pinch for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the produce by peeling and slicing the banana, pitting the avocado and scooping out the flesh, and rinsing and drying the spinach leaves.
2. Add the sliced banana, avocado flesh, spinach leaves, plain yogurt, and cold milk to a blender pitcher.
3. Add the honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes to the blender.
4. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, 45–60 seconds, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides if needed.
5. Check the consistency; if you prefer a thinner smoothie, blend in a little more milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired thickness.
6. Taste and adjust sweetness with a bit more honey if needed, then give the smoothie a final quick blend to combine.
7. Pour the avocado banana smoothie into two glasses and finish with a light pinch of ground cinnamon on top of each before serving immediately.
