Suggested Adaptations

  • Add some extra goodness! Amp up this smoothie by tossing in a tablespoon of chia seeds/flax meal and/or hemp hearts!
  • Make it as sweet (or as mild) as you like. We all have different palates and some of us like things sweeter than others. The bananas are the source of sweetness and natural sugar in this chocolate banana smoothie. Play with the amount of banana you add depending on your personal preference.
  • Add some peanut butter or almond butter. 
  • Toss in some extra veggies. Like spinach or even frozen rices cauliflower!
  • Add some protein powder!
  • Add more (or less) liquid to achieve desired constancy. Depending on how thick you like your smoothies, you might find you need to add 1/2 cup or so of water to this blend. Or, if you find your smoothie is too thin for your liking, toss in a few ice cubes to help thicken it up.
  • Freeze as popsicles. Turn this banana avocado smoothie into a fun dessert by turning into homemade fudgesicles!
