- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and make sure the avocado is pitted and peeled, and the banana is peeled and broken into chunks for easier blending.

Notes
- Use ripe avocado and banana for the best natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup according to your taste or dietary needs.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and choose a plant-based milk.
- Add ice cubes if you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
