Avocado Breakfast Smoothie

Making a smoothie for breakfast can be so easy if you prepare ahead.  Alot of the 'whole' foods that we have in our fridge and freezer are perfect ingredients to create a healthy smoothie.

Below is the recipe for my go-to smoothie, but the best part is that you can substitute where you choose. I will mention some substitutions at the end of the recipe.  I hope you enjoy.

2 cups almond milk

1 cup frozen blue berries

1 banana

1 fresh avocado

1/2 apple

1 tbsp. tumeric powder (optional)

1 tsp. cinnamon (optinal)

1 tbsp. flaxseed (optional)

fresh parsley

2 cups cold water

My personal additions:  1 tsp. essential fatty acid formula, 1 tbsp. collagen powder, 3 tbsp. organic protein powder

Put all of the above into a blender.  Blend well and pour. This yields approximately 4 cups of smoothie.

I like my smoothies cold so I add an ice cube to the smoothie in a glass

substitutions:

frozen berries = any fresh berries or frozen berries - you choose

fresh avocado = frozen avocado

almond milk = dairy or water

parsley = green peas (I use the frozen ones...not kidding) 

apple = fresh carrot or celery

tumeric/cinnamon = leave out if not available or wanted

The beauty is that as long as it tastes good you can put anything in your smoothie.  

You are the boss of your smoothie making!
