Banana & Avocado Smoothie

Lately I've been craving avocado... I think it must have something to do with all those healthy fats & vitamins - full of omega 3 & 6, vitamin C, E, folate & patothenic acid (b5) ;-) Now, instead of making the usual salad or chocolate mousse... I wanted something really thick, creamy and nutritious to drink on a hot Summer's day (in my awesome rainbow hammock, to be more specific). So what better than to make a cool, refreshing avocado smoothie?!

Let's face it, banana always makes a good base. Spinach is great for that extra "green power", and mango & orange just add a boost of yummy flavours. Combine these and you have a winner. It's my absolute favourite at the moment.

Serves 2
Ingredients:
1/2 cup almond milk
3/4 cup filtered water
1 banana
Handful spinach
1/2 avocado
1/2 mango
1 tbsp raw honey
(optional) 1 tsp coconut oil
(optional) 1/2 orange

Method:
Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender. Pour into a big glass, enjoy :)
Soooo delicious & satisfying!
