Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ¼-½ medium avocado (the more avocado, the creamier the smoothie)

- 1-2 large very ripe bananas, frozen (depending on desired sweetness)
Flavorings
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Maple syrup or honey, to taste (optional)
Optional
- Ice, as needed for thickness
Instructions
- Blend Avocado and Milk: Combine the avocado and milk in a blender and blend until smooth to create a creamy base.
