Oat milk tastes great in banana-based smoothies. You can also use dairy milk, almond milk, or your favorite plant-based option.
Be sure to use ripe avocado for the best flavor and texture. Ripe avocados have dark green skin and firm texture with some give when you press it. Don't use underripe avocados, as they're too hard to cut and add to smoothies. Also, avoid overripe avocados, which are too mushy and brown.
Smoothies with avocado are very thick and creamy. If you want a thinner texture, add a splash of oat milk and blend for 10 seconds.
Before freezing bananas, slice them into coins or chunks first. You can cut them into chunks if you have a high-powered blender.
Ripe bananas are the best choice for smoothies. Look for bananas with a yellow skin with some brown spots.
Skip the honey for a less sweet smoothie.
Drink your smoothie as soon as you make it. If you store leftovers, the ingredients will likely separate and turn brown from the avocado. Be sure to keep it in an airtight jar and enjoy within 1 or 2 days.
