Method
Prep
- 1
Prepare avocado
Halve the ripe avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a measuring cup or directly into the blender. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, reserve a small amount of avocado or reduce quantity.
- 2
Prepare banana
Peel the banana and break it into chunks so it blends evenly.
- 3
Blend
- 4
Add avocado flesh, banana chunks, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup yogurt, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup to the blender.
- 5
Add 1 teaspoon fresh lime or lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon if using. These brighten flavor and balance richness.
- 6
Add 1 cup ice cubes (adjust quantity for desired thickness). Secure the blender lid.
- 7
Blend on medium-high for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend another 10–15 seconds.
- 8
Check consistency and sweetness. If too thick, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) additional milk at a time and blend until desired texture is reached. If not sweet enough, add an additional 1/2 tablespoon sweetener and blend briefly.
Serve
- 9
Pour the smoothie into two glasses (this recipe yields about 2 servings).

Serve immediately with a straw. Enjoy chilled.
