Banana Orange Smoothie (super creamy, thick, delicious!)
Servings 2 small servings
This healthy banana orange smoothie, with paleo, vegan and whole30 options, really benefits from the addition of avocado!
Ingredients
- 2 medium or large bananas 240-300 grams total without peel
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) plain Greek yogurt use compliant coconut milk yogurt for paleo / vegan / Whole30
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) orange juice or 1/2 peeled, deseeded orange (80 grams)
- 1/2 medium avocado 80 grams flesh
- orange juice or milk use paleo / vegan / whole30 compliant milk, if desired, optional
Instructions
- Optional step - cut the banana into chunks and freeze for 1 hour. This makes your smoothie colder. Using refrigerated ingredients that are already cold also do the trick.
- Blend everything together in a blender or a food processor.
- If you want the smoothie thinner, add milk until you're satisfied with the consistency. Serve immediately.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 day. Note that after sitting for a while, the top layer will turn a little brown due to the avocado. Just mix it in and it won't be as noticeable. Or remove the top part if you've got picky kids.
