This Avocado Smoothie With Coconut Milk is ultra-creamy, lightly sweet, and naturally dairy-free. Made with ripe avocado, full-fat coconut milk, and banana, it blends into a silky, milkshake-like smoothie that’s nourishing, filling, and ready in minutes—no added sugar required.
Ingredients
- Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado peeled and pitted
- ¾ –1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk well shaken
- 1 ripe banana fresh or frozen
- Flavor Base
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 –2 tsp lime or lemon juice optional, for brightness
- Pantry & Optional Add-Ins
- 1 –2 tsp honey or maple syrup optional
- Ice cubes optional, for thicker texture
- Handful of spinach optional, for added nutrients
Instructions
- Prep
- Scoop avocado flesh into the blender.
- If you want a thicker, colder smoothie, freeze the banana in advance.
- Shake coconut milk well before measuring.
- Blending Method
- Add coconut milk to the blender first.
- Add avocado, banana, vanilla, citrus juice (if using), and sweetener if desired.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and silky.
- Scrape down sides if needed and blend again briefly.
- Texture Check
- Smoothie should be thick and pourable.
- Too thick? Add a splash of coconut milk or water.
- Too thin? Add more avocado or a few ice cubes.
- Finish
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optional garnish: shredded coconut or a lime wedge.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Full-fat coconut milk gives the richest texture.
- Blend long enough—avocado needs time to become silky smooth.
