Green Smoothie
... deliciously creamy plant-based smoothie
The banana and avocado make this smoothie so creamy for a plant-based green smoothie and it really is delicious. Chuck in some of your favourite superfood powders for an extra boost!
It is best to use a mixture of frozen and fresh ingredients as this chills the smoothie, but if all your ingredients are fresh I recommend popping in a few ice cubes to give it an extra cold finish.
TIP - I love keeping my avocado halves frozen at the perfect point of freshness/ripeness. You can buy bags of them like this in Iceland or freeze your own and they will defrost in 3 hours at room temp. or 12 hours in the fridge (overnight before breakfast), or in this case chuck still frozen into a smoothie.
