  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 frozen bananas

Instructions

  • Add into the blender in this order: the avocado, lettuce, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, almond milk, and frozen banana. If using fresh bananas add them in first before the avocado and the ice in last.

Notes

  • Delicious add ins. There are a lot of healthy add ins to put into your smoothie. I have listed some ideas above. But, feel free to get creative.
  • Smoothie bowl. Make it into a smoothie bowl by pouring the mixture into a bowl and topping with some fresh fruit. You may need to play around with the consistency to keep it a bit thicker.
