Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ripe Banana
  • ½ Avocado
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon Moringa Powder (*see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 handful Fresh Greens
  • 2 cups Non-Dairy Milk

Instructions
 

  • Place the banana, half of an avocado, half to one teaspoon moringa powder (go with half a teaspoon if you've never had moringa before), one teaspoon vanilla extract, a handful of fresh greens and two cups of milk into your blender jug.
  • Blend on medium-high until smooth. This is a thicker smoothie so if you added extra goodies, you may need to add more milk.
  • Once everything is blended smoothly, pour into your favourite mason jar or smoothie cup and enjoy!

Notes

*If you've never had moringa before, I would suggest only using half a teaspoon. As mentioned in the post, you don't want to add more than one teaspoon (unless you're tripling the batch). Moringa is a potent superfood and you don't need much to reap its benefits. It also has quite a strong flavour that if overdone can cause a burning / acid-reflux-like sensation.
Easily turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl by adding less milk! Using one to one and half cups (instead of two) will make a nice, thick Avocado and Moringa Smoothie bowl.
