Avocado Banana Shake
Description
The recipe was born out of desire to use the ripe avocados and bananas sitting in my kitchen basket. Avocados and bananas go very well together. Even my picky eater son loved the shake. He loves both avocados and bananas but the idea of putting them together in a shake or smoothie sounded strange to him!!”But just try it” I urged. A few sips and he ended up asking for more. It makes a great drink after a workout or run. It is a great source for protein and good fats. It is packed with healthy nourishing ingredients, and no refined sugar is involved.
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole or skimmed milk or almond milk for a vegan option
- 2 medium-sized avocados peeled and pitted
