Avocado, Banana Green Smoothie

INGREDIENTS;

• 1 large frozen banana (sliced)
• 1/4 – 1/2 medium ripe avocado (more avocado = creamier, thicker smoothie)
• 1 large handful greens of choice (spinach, kale, rainbow chard)
• 3/4 – 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy coconut water) 
• 1/2 tsp adaptogen of choice (maca, ashwagandha, etc) or scoop of protein powder

DIRECTIONS;

1. To a high-speed blender, add frozen banana, avocado, protein powder or adaptogens (if using), greens, and dairy-free milk.
2. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. If smoothie is too thick, add more dairy-free milk to thin. If too thin, add more frozen banana or avocado.
3. Divide between serving glasses and enjoy! Best when fresh, though leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours
