Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this avocado peanut butter smoothie recipe is to use a very ripe avocado that feels slightly soft if pressed. This is a great recipe for avocados that are too soft for salads. Softer avocados give my smoothies a creamier consistency and blend easily.
- Add liquid first: When placing the ingredients into the blender, I always add my liquid first. This makes it easier for all the ingredients to blend without getting stuck.
- Blend thoroughly: I give my smoothie a good time to blend. I make sure it is long enough to fully break down the avocado and ice.
- Adjust thickness: For a thicker smoothie, I add extra ice cubes, about 2-3, which works without watering down the flavors. But for a thinner consistency, I add a splash more almond milk until it reaches my desired thickness.
- Scrape if necessary: If there are stubborn chunks clinging to the side, I switch off my blender, and use a spatula to loosen the chunks into the middle and then carry on blending until smooth.
