There’s something so magical about blending up simple ingredients and transforming them into something so creamy and refreshing.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using ripe avocados for their creaminess, and if your banana is frozen, it’ll make the smoothie super thick and cold. If you're not a fan of spinach, you can easily swap it out for kale or even just leave it out – the avocado and lime will still shine!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my avocados at room temperature until they're perfectly ripe, then store them in the fridge to slow down ripening.
- •If you want to prep ahead, you can portion your ingredients in a freezer bag and just blend when you’re ready!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I like to add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost after a workout.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll throw in some fresh mint for a refreshing twist!
Storage & Freezing
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it might separate a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this smoothie without spinach?
Absolutely! If you're not into spinach, just skip it. The avocado and banana will still give you that lovely texture. Sometimes, I even toss in a bit of kale for a change.
