Banana Avocado Smoothie

I saw a recipe for an avocado smoothie online, but as much as I like avocados, I just couldn't bring myself to try it.  Callen likes avocado mixed with banana, so I came up with this smoothie for us to share.  I know avocado may sound weird in a smoothie, but it is often used in desserts in other countries, and it's so good for you.

Banana Avocado Smoothie

1 ripe banana, sliced
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sugar (optional)
2 cups ice

Put the banana, avocado, milk and vanilla in the blender and blend until smooth.  The banana and avocado with blend up faster if they are sliced first.  Add sugar at this point if needed.  Add 1-2 cups of ice depending on how thick you want it.  Makes 2-16oz servings.


Callen enjoying his smoothie.  He got mad when I took it away, but I was afraid he'd get his first case of brain freeze if he drank it too  fast.
