In this informal cooking video, Nina responds to a viewer comment about avocado in smoothies by demonstrating how to make an avocado‑banana smoothie. She explains why she loves avocado, citing health benefits such as lowering heart rate and bad cholesterol. Nina shows how to select a ripe avocado, discarding a bad one and describing the visual cues of ripeness. She then lists the exact ingredient amounts—1 avocado, 1 frozen banana, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 2 tbsp raw honey—explains each component (e.g., squeezing lemon, using raw honey), and walks through the preparation steps: halving and pitting the avocado, scooping the flesh, adding the frozen banana, lemon juice, almond milk, and honey into a blender, and blending until smooth. Nina encounters a few mishaps (bag opening, broken container) and comments on them humorously. After blending, she pours the smoothie, invites Evan Carmichael to taste it, and both react enthusiastically to the flavor. The video ends with a standard YouTube call‑to‑action: like, comment, subscribe, and suggestions for future videos.

Hi, this is Nina. A while ago I made a smoothies video and then there's a comment from Liz Torres. She said, "Avocado and smoothies, I wonder how that tastes. I generally don't like avocados, but I wonder how avocado tastes with fruit." I love avocado. I put avocado in my salad, in my sandwiches, in my smoothies. Sometimes I could even eat avocado by itself. I don't add anything to it. It's really good. I like avocado because it's really good for you. It lowers your heart rate, lowers your bad cholesterol, and tastes great too. So today I'm gonna make avocado with banana. So I'm gonna cut the avocado in half. Oh, it's a bad one. Let me get another one. What if we don't have a good avocado? We should do it from the beginning. Oh my God, this is so bad. Sorry guys, the avocados, they're not that great. Uh, once I might just get some— we're gonna buy some good avocados tonight and then maybe we'll reshoot the video again. Sorry. These ones are pretty good. The skin turn color, and when I press it in, it's a little smushy, but not too hard. When you look at the green ones, they're hard.
I can't even push it in.
This is how you open a bag, okay? You don't try to pick at it with your nails. It takes too long. You open it up here, okay? See where you know the top is? Go like this.
Nice!
Okay, so we're back with the avocado. Actually, let me tell you how many of each ingredient that we need. 1 avocado and 1 banana. I froze the banana so I don't need to use ice. 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. I'm gonna squeeze it out later. And then 1 cup of almond milk and 2 tablespoons of raw honey. I love raw honey. I can just eat the raw honey with a spoon. Avocado, same thing, cut it in half. I hope this one is good. Oh, it's good, it's green. Okay, take the pit out, then use the spoon to scoop out the avocado meat. So 1 frozen banana. 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. 1 cup. Okay. And then 2 tablespoons of raw honey. So the raw honey, it looks like this. Uh, you can see a hole of— a hole in the middle, uh, because we ate it. Okay, so this is 1 tablespoon, and then I need another tablespoon. Oh, it's hard. Okay, so that's 2 tablespoons. I can smell the raw honey already. I love it. It's yummy. Okay, so for the lemon, if you notice the last one, I always press down the lemon so when I squeeze it out, it's easier to squeeze the juice out. You can also replace the lemon with lime, but I like lemon more than lime. So cut it in half. Then gonna squeeze the lemon into this bowl. See, it's very easy to squeeze the water out. Use 1 teaspoon. So that's 1 teaspoon. You can add more if you want. I'm gonna use— I'm just gonna use 1 teaspoon. So all the ingredients are in here. I'm gonna blend it up. Okay, it's done. Let's see. This is the smoothie, avocado with banana smoothie. Okay, let's pour into a glass and then have Evan taste it. Come over here. Cheers! Seriously, I can't even drink like this. Oh my god, oh, so good. Thanks for watching this video. Please like the video and leave a comment and let me know what I should make next. Please subscribe to the channel and Bali. Bye! Okay, say bye. Okay, bye. Hello, does it work? I'm gonna use unsalted— unsalted? Unsweetened almond milk. Raw onion— raw honey. She asked, um, she asked, uh, she asked— yeah, this is not great. Let's get another one. Oh no. I prepare it. Oh, it's not open yet. I broke this. Oh my God. Okay, so how can I open this? Can't believe that. 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Hurry up, I need to finish with this. So, um, oh, I forgot what I want to say. I forgot now. Okay, stop it, you're interrupting. You're interfering with my thoughts. Ready? Oh, it's really good. Ready? Oh my God. Okay. You're gonna break this thing.
