Equipment
- High Speed Blender
Ingredients
- 1 small Avocado pitted and skinned
- 5 Mint sprig leaves only
- 1 Banana frozen
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 1 teaspoon Honey optional
Instructions
- Combine everything in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
Notes
- A little bit of honey would be great here. It’s not necessary but it does add a little bit of sweetness if you don’t get enough from the banana.
- Between the avocado and banana, this is a filling drink.
- You’re definitely going to need a high-speed blender for this smoothie otherwise you’ll be chewing on bits of mint. If you like eating mint whole, then you’re fine but otherwise get a Vitamix. This is similar to the one I used for this recipe.
- The mint definitely adds a nice kick of freshness. If you want more mint, you can always add a little mint extract.
- Make sure to use AIP compliant coconut milk. I used this brand. But please check ingredients before buying/using. Companies commonly change ingredients without notice.
