    One of the best things about smoothies is that they allow you to easily add all kinds of fruits and vegetables to your diet, including healthy fats like avocado. If you’re skeptical about adding avocado to your smoothie, don’t worry! You won’t even taste it, but you’ll definitely notice the added creaminess and thickness it brings to the smoothie. The combination of sweet strawberries, ripe bananas, and rich avocado makes for a delicious and nutritious treat perfect for breakfast or a mid-day snack.

    Ingredients

    ingredients to make strawberry avocado banana smoothie.

    Here are all of the ingredients you need to make this strawberry banana avocado smoothie.

    • Small whole or sliced frozen strawberries: Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C and other antioxidants, adding a delicious fruity flavor to the smoothie. Frozen strawberries make the smoothie colder and can also help make it creamier by adding thickness to the mixture. I suggest using frozen strawberries, but if you have fresh then here’s my post on freezing strawberries.
    • Ripe banana (preferably frozen): Bananas are a popular smoothie ingredient as they’re naturally sweet and can help give the smoothie a creamy texture. Using a ripe banana that is starting to develop brown spots will also add more sweetness to the smoothie. Freezing the banana beforehand can make the smoothie even creamier and give it a thicker consistency. Here are my tips on freezing bananas.
    • Ripe avocado: Avocados are known for their healthy fats and creamy texture, which can add a rich and velvety consistency to the smoothie. They’re also packed with fiber, potassium, and lots of vitamins. In this recipe, using a quarter of a ripe avocado adds healthy fats to the smoothie without removing the sweetness of the strawberries and bananas. I recommended using frozen avocado for a thick creamy consistency. Here’s a post on how to freeze avocados.
    • Chia seeds: Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals. Adding them to the smoothie can help add a bit of texture to the mixture, making it more interesting to drink.
    • Unsweetened coconut milk: Coconut milk is a dairy-free alternative that can add a creamy and slightly nutty flavor to the smoothie. It’s also a good source of healthy fats and can help make the smoothie more filling.

    How to Make a Strawberry Avocado Smoothie

    Add the frozen strawberries, banana, chopped avocado, chia seeds, and coconut milk into a blender to make the strawberry avocado banana smoothie. Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy, adding filtered water as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

    Once everything is blended to perfection, pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. You can garnish with some extra chia seeds or fruit, but it’s optional.

    Supplies

    • High-speed blender: A high-quality blender is essential for making smoothies regularly. I got a Vitamix over ten years ago, and it’s still going strong, and this version is the closest to what I have. While Vitamix is a great option, you can also check out more affordable alternatives that work just as well in my Best Blender for Smoothies review.
    • Reusable straws with a straw cleaner: These straws are perfect for enjoying your smoothie while reducing waste. A straw cleaner also helps keep them clean and hygienic.
    • 26-ounce Yeti tumbler: This tumbler is great for keeping your smoothies cold when you’re on the go.
    • Stasher Reusable silicone bags: These bags are ideal for preparing freezer smoothie kits, allowing you to easily store and organize your ingredients.

    Cooking tips

    • Use frozen ingredients: As mentioned earlier, frozen ingredients will help make this avocado strawberry smoothie creamier and colder. Frozen fruits also tend to have a more intense flavor, which is perfect for smoothies.
    • Adjust the consistency as needed: Depending on the type of blender you have and the size of the ingredients, you may need to add more or less water to achieve the desired consistency. Start with some water and gradually add until you get the right texture.
    • Use a high-speed blender: A high-speed blender can make a big difference in the final texture of your smoothie. If you have a lower-powered blender, you may need to blend the ingredients for a little longer to make them smooth.
    • Don’t overdo it on the avocado: While avocado is a great ingredient for smoothies, it can also be overpowering if you add too much. Start with a quarter of an avocado and add more if needed.
    • Prep smoothie freezer kits: To make your smoothie prep even easier, pre-portion your ingredients into freezer bags or containers and store them in the freezer. Then, when you’re ready to make a smoothie, dump the bag’s contents into the blender and blend away.

    Substitutions

    Here are some swaps to switch things up in your strawberry and avocado smoothie recipe.

    • Strawberries: Don’t have strawberries? No problem! Swap them out with frozen peaches, mango, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or mixed berries.
    • Banana: If bananas aren’t your jam, try frozen pineapple, kiwi, or sweet potato for a unique twist. Or leave them out together to reduce the sugar and have a low-carb smoothie. 
    • Avocado: If you’re all out of avocado, toss in a scoop of nut butter, such as almond or cashew, for some extra creaminess.
    • Chia seeds: Not a fan of chia? Add some hemp, flax, or even oats for added texture.
    • Coconut milk: To switch up the coconut milk, try using almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. It is best to keep the smoothie dairy-free; non-dairy milk is recommended. Note that the recommended coconut milk is found in the carton with other milk alternatives, not the canned version.
    • Extra protein: Plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, collagen, or protein powder can be used for an added protein boost. 
    • Extra sweetness: If you want a sweeter smoothie then use your favorite natural sweeteners like pure maple syrup or honey. To create a low-carb or keto diet friendly smoothie then use your favorite sugar-free sweetener like stevia.
    • For more flavor: Add vanilla extract or even a squirt of lemon juice or lime juice for extra flavor.

    Remember, the beauty of smoothies is that you can let your creativity shine and mix up all kinds of flavor combos. But keep in mind that any ingredient swaps will alter your smoothie’s nutritional value and taste. So don’t be afraid to experiment, but keep an eye on your substitutions.

      I have saved the recipe thank you. I have a smoothie every morning as I drive to work. Mine is a banana – ripe is best as they are sweeter – blueberries, spinach, 1/2 avocado if I have it on hand, 4-5 ice cubes and a bit of 1% milk or almond milk just enough so it’s not overly thick. This keeps me full from 745 am until around 1030 when I have my overnight cold oatmeal. I appreciate you sharing yours with us:)

      …I normally refrain from altering the integrity of another’s recipe, but discovered I was out of my homemade almond milk ~ consequently I had some leftover almond eggnog and substituted it in your recipe, …it turned out yummy! …TY for your awesome recipes!
