Avocado Banana Smoothie
Source: Everyday Food, January/February 2012
Cindy's note - even though this looks strange, it is really good, even with spinach!
1 avocado
1 banana
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice (from 3 oranges)
1/4 cup honey
2 1/2 to 3 cups ice (*Cindy's note - I sometimes sub 1 cup frozen spinach for the ice)
In a blender, combine avocado, banana, yogurt, orange juice, honey, and ice. Blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
