I like how easily it comes together in just minutes, and how I can customize it with my favorite toppings for crunch, flavor, and extra nutrition. It’s a satisfying breakfast that keeps me energized and full without feeling heavy.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For The Smoothie Base

• 1/4 ripe avocado

• 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced and frozen

• 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

• 2 large handfuls fresh spinach

• 1 small handful fresh kale, stems removed

• 1 1/2 to 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond, oat, or soy milk)

• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

• 2 tablespoons salted creamy almond butter or peanut butter (optional for extra creaminess and protein)

For The Toppings (Optional But Recommended)

• Roasted unsalted sunflower seeds

• Granola

• Raw or roasted nuts (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts)

• Shredded unsweetened coconut

• Fresh berries

• Hemp seeds

Directions

1. Add the frozen bananas, avocado, mixed berries, spinach, kale, flaxseed meal, and non-dairy milk to a high-speed blender.

2. Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth. I usually start with 1 1/2 cups of milk and add more only if needed to reach the desired consistency.

3. If I’m using nut butter, I add it during blending for a creamier, richer texture.

4. Taste the smoothie. If it needs more sweetness, I add a bit of maple syrup or another frozen banana slice. For a brighter green color, I sometimes blend in more spinach.

5. Once smooth and thick, pour the mixture into bowls.

6. Top with my choice of toppings—sunflower seeds, coconut, granola, nuts, berries, or hemp seeds.

7. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Servings And Timing

• Servings: Makes 2 bowls

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Total Time: 10 minutes

Variations

• For a higher-protein version, I sometimes add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored plant-based protein powder.

• If I don’t have kale, I use more spinach or substitute with Swiss chard.

• To make it nut-free, I leave out the nut butter and use sunflower seed butter or tahini.

• When I want a tropical twist, I swap the berries for frozen mango or pineapple chunks.

• I’ve also added a few mint leaves or a squeeze of lime for a refreshing kick.

Storage/Reheating

• I store any leftover smoothie base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1–2 days.

• If it thickens or separates, I re-blend it with a splash of non-dairy milk before serving.

• For longer storage, I pour the smoothie into ice cube trays, freeze, then re-blend the cubes with a little milk when I’m ready to enjoy it again.

• I don’t add toppings until just before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp.

FAQs

Can I Make This Without Avocado?

Yes, I can leave out the avocado and still get a creamy result by using extra banana or a spoonful of nut butter.

What Type Of Milk Works Best?

I prefer almond milk for a light flavor, but oat milk or soy milk also work well and add different textures.

Can I Use Only Spinach Instead Of Kale?

Absolutely. I often use just spinach when I want a milder green flavor or don’t have kale on hand.

Is It Sweet Enough Without Added Sugar?

For me, the frozen bananas and berries usually provide enough sweetness. But if I want it sweeter, I add a little maple syrup or a pitted date during blending.

How Can I Prep This Ahead Of Time?

I blend the smoothie base and keep it in the fridge, then add fresh toppings just before eating. It’s also great frozen in cubes and blended later for a quick breakfast.
