Tips for Creamy Avocado and Nut Butter Smoothie

  • A fully ripe avocado and banana give the smoothest texture; an underripe avocado can leave the drink grassy and less creamy.
  • Chia seeds thicken the smoothie as they sit, so the texture is best shortly after blending.
  • Use a blender with a sturdy motor and scrape down the sides if nut butter sticks above the blades.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a sealed container and use within 24 hours; shake or blend again if it separates or thickens.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this smoothie ahead?

It is best made just before serving, since the avocado may darken and the chia seeds continue to thicken it. If needed, refrigerate in a sealed container and use within 24 hours.

Why is my smoothie too thick?

Chia seeds absorb liquid as the smoothie stands. Blend it again briefly to even out the texture.

How can I tell if the avocado is ripe enough?

It should yield gently to light pressure and have creamy, pale-green flesh without extensive brown spots.
