Directions to Follow

1. Start by cutting the avocado in half. Carefully remove the pit and scoop out the creamy flesh with a spoon.
2. Peel the banana and chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
3. In a blender, combine the avocado, banana, almond milk, mixed nuts, and vanilla extract.
4. Blend on high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. For an extra chilly drink, add ice and blend again until the ice is completely crushed.
6. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Now that you have your Avocado Juice ready, let’s talk about serving. This drink is delightful on its own; however, you can enhance it by garnishing with some extra chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Pair it with a slice of whole grain toast topped with mashed avocado for a wholesome breakfast or enjoy it as a refreshing snack alongside fresh fruit.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

If you manage to have any leftovers, store your Avocado Juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 24 hours to maintain its creamy texture and fresh flavor. Due to the avocado and banana, the juice may oxidize and turn slightly brown, but it’s still safe to drink.

Pro Chef Tips

For the best results, use ripe fruits—this ensures a sweeter and creamier juice. If you prefer an even richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg when blending. Additionally, using frozen banana slices will make your drink colder and creamier without needing to add ice, which can dilute the flavor.

Creative Twists

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! Add a handful of spinach for a nutritious boost without changing the flavor drastically, or swap the nuts for seeds like chia or hemp if you’re looking for a nut-free version. You can also experiment by adding a dash of cocoa powder for a chocolaty twist or introducing a hint of espresso for a caffeinated kick.
