✨ From My Kitchen
This smoothie is one of my go-to’s for busy mornings or when I need something that feels indulgent but is actually good for me. The avocado makes it unbelievably silky, the banana gives it that natural sweetness, and the almond butter adds protein and depth.
It’s also incredibly kid-friendly — the flavors are mild and creamy, with just enough sweetness to make it feel like a treat. And bonus: you’re sneaking in veggies without anyone noticing.
