Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled. Doubling the recipe is a great way to meal prep for a few days.
- You can use an un-frozen banana if you wish, but you may want to add a few ice cubes to help thicken the smoothie.
- For a smoothie with fewer calories, you can reduce the amount of avocado or leave out the chia seeds. But, it’s always a good idea to leave some ingredients with fat because healthy fats help your body to absorb nutrients.
- Enjoy this green smoothie as a healthy snack or meal replacement, and feel free to customize it by adding other ingredients like berries, Greek yogurt, or nut butter. Or, see my full list of flat tummy smoothies.
