This smoothie uses ripe avocado for an ultra-creamy, dairy-free texture with a hint of vanilla sweetness. It's a versatile base that's perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack, blending smoothly without overpowering flavors.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado peeled, pitted, and cubed
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 pinch salt
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir before serving as separation may occur. For make-ahead, blend without ice and freeze avocado cubes, then blend with ice when ready. Substitute maple syrup with dates or stevia for lower sugar, or add spinach for a green variation. Serve as a breakfast drink or pair with granola for added crunch.
