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.
