Perfectly creamy from the avocado, this smoothie has a subtle sweetness from the blueberries and a nutty hint from the flaxseed. Try garnishing it with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of flaxseed for a lovely presentation, or enjoy it as a refreshing start to a slow morning.
Cinnamon Roll Avocado Smoothie
Dusk settles softly outside my window, the quiet hum of the kitchen inviting me to blend two unlikely companions into something comforting. This smoothie whispers of cozy mornings with cinnamon rolls yet feels nourishing with creamy avocado, a gentle paradox in a glass. It’s a recipe born from a craving for warmth without heaviness, a sip that feels like a slow, deep breath.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
For the smoothie base:
– 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
– 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
– 1 frozen banana, sliced
– 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– ½ tsp vanilla extract
– ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
For the topping:
– 2 tbsp chopped pecans
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon for dusting
Instructions
1. Add the peeled and pitted avocado, almond milk, frozen banana slices, maple syrup, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg to a high-speed blender.
2. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy, with no avocado chunks remaining. Tip: For a thicker texture, add 3–4 ice cubes before blending.
3. Pour the smoothie evenly into two tall glasses, filling each about three-quarters full.
4. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of chopped pecans over the top of each smoothie.
5. Dust each serving lightly with the remaining 1 tsp ground cinnamon using a fine-mesh sieve for an even sprinkle. Tip: Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant for a deeper flavor.
6. Serve immediately with a reusable straw. Tip: For a creamier consistency, chill the almond milk in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before blending.
Gently, the first sip reveals a velvety texture that clings to the spoon, with the cinnamon and nutmeg weaving a warm spice through the cool creaminess. The toasted pecans add a satisfying crunch that contrasts the smooth base, making each mouthfeel layered and indulgent. Try drizzling a thin swirl of maple syrup on the glass’s interior before pouring for a decorative touch that sweetens every sip.
Avocado Carrot Turmeric Smoothie
Facing the quiet of a winter evening, I find myself craving something both nourishing and gentle—a smoothie that feels like a warm embrace in a glass, blending earthy roots with creamy richness.

2. Add the avocado, almond milk, and Greek yogurt to the blender.
3. Sprinkle in the ground turmeric, ground ginger, honey, and black pepper.

6. Secure the blender lid tightly.
7. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and no carrot chunks remain.

Keeping this smoothie simple lets its flavors shine—the carrot adds a subtle sweetness, the avocado brings a velvety richness, and the turmeric offers a warm, earthy note. I love serving it immediately in chilled glasses, perhaps with a cinnamon stick for stirring, to savor each sip slowly as the day winds down.
