Peanut Butter Banana Avocado Smoothie Recipe
My daughter thinks it is great fun when we have smoothies. She loves drinking out of a straw and she knows it will taste more fun than water or milk. I wasn't able to have many smoothies while pregnant since fruit in the morning made my blood sugar high (gestational diabetes).
But now I can have them again! Yay!
Smoothies are a great way to get your fruit intake in, they're super easy and quick for breakfast, and yummy! They are pretty nutritious for the most part, though it is possible to make them with too much fat, sugar, and calories.
So after several months off from smoothie makin' I decided to make this baby this morning….
Peanut Butter Banana Avocado Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup of milk (I use 1%)
1/3 cup of vanilla yogurt (I use Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt)
1 Banana
1 Avocado
1 Tbs peanut butter (I use creamy Skippy)
Directions:
1. Slice up the banana and add to the blender.
2. Open up the avocado, take out the pit and scoop the good stuff into the blender.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
4. Pour into glasses, add fun colorful straws, and drink!
It's Aerissa approved!

I know I like peanut butter and banana, and I know I like avocado, but I’m just not sure about them all together. It sounds interesting. 😉
You really don’t taste the avocado. Banana and avocado together is super yum so peanut butter is like an added bonus 🙂 these flavors blend well together, I promise!
I was thinking the same thing as Janet was. I like these apart, but together? I’ll have to trust you on this Darcy.
Try it! You’ll love it.
I have to ask what Rissa thought about it. Super healthy. I’d love to try this for my kiddos. They love peanut butter and banana…avocado I’m not so sure.
I never would have thought to add avocado. I wonder if I could hide it in there or if my teens would notice the difference?
I had a banana/avocado smoothie tonight.. I really wish I had thought to add peanut butter.
I just tried making it, and i’ve gotta admit i’m not a fan! i love the ingredients separately, but together they don’t work. Something about the avocado and peanut butter just didn’t taste right. Mind you i didn’t add yogurt to mine.
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it. We love this combo and have it frequently.
