Avocado Banana Smoothie

Lately we have been enjoying lots of smoothies- Arabella loves smoothies in particular, and she will drink just about anything in her new straw cup.  This smoothie is delicious for breakfast, as we find it quite filling and satisfying, sometimes with a homemade muffin on the side.  It was inspired by the smoothie at Against All Grain, but I changed ours quite a lot.

Avocado Banana Smoothie

1/2 avocado
1.5 large or two small, ripe bananas
1 1/2 c yogurt or kefir
1/2 cup milk (or more to thin as desired) or water kefir, which gives it a bit of fizz
2 egg yolks (only use raw if from a local trusted source)
2 spoons almond or peanut butter
sometimes I add a spoon each of cocoa powder and honey
Arabella also has a spoon of fermented cod lover oil in hers


Yum I love smoothies!
 
Getting the last delicious drops!
 

Danny (4 weeks old) is too little for smoothies, but he is growing big and strong on mommy's milk!
 
Little sweetie

  1. Emma lived on Avocado/banana smoothies when she was little. Carmella, too, loves her smoothies and eats several a day. We like to add spinach and pumpkin puree to ours for a little variety.

    I've been thinking of you a lot and wanting to get in touch but just have not been well enough to do so. I will write you a more proper email soon, I hope. (sheepish grin). I wanted to offer you much congratulations on your little son. I have no doubt you are doing a great job with him and he is growing into a happy and strong sweetie.

    Hugs,

    Kat
