- 1 banana, peeled and refrigerated
- 1/2 avocado, peeled and pitted
- 2 heaping cups baby spinach
- 1 tbsp cashew butter
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Peel and cut the banana and avocado. If desired, chop them into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Add to blender: Place the banana, avocado, baby spinach, and cashew butter into the blender container.
- Add almond milk: Measure ¾ cup of unsweetened almond milk using a measuring cup and pour it over the other ingredients in the blender.
- Blend: Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. You may need to stop and use a utensil to stir the ingredients around to prevent them from sticking, especially the cashew butter.
- Serve: Once blended completely, pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Chopping the ingredients into smaller pieces before blending helps achieve a smoother consistency and makes blending easier.
- Depending on your blender’s quality and power, pause blending as needed to stir the ingredients with a spoon or knife to ensure even blending, especially to incorporate the cashew butter.
- Always ensure the blender lid is securely in place to prevent spills and messes during blending. Holding the lid with your hand can add extra security.
