Ultra-Creamy Cinnamon Banana Smoothie

Did you know that avocados are a secret weapon in smoothies? They instantly create a thick, creamy texture without adding any extra flavor! This recipe puts avocados to use (and disguises your daily dose of greens) in a creamy cinnamon smoothie, perfect for a pre-workout snack or a prep-ahead breakfast. With filling whole grain oats, potassium-rich banana and a healthy dose of fats from the avocado, this smoothie packs a nutrition punch without sacrificing flavor.
