Avocado Greens Smoothie

With the avocado capital of the world right here in California, I'm fortunate enough to have almost more avocado than I know what to do with! ALMOST. Because there are always amazing ways to incorporate this buttery fruit packed full of fiber, potassium and vitamins! This time, I've magic bulleted it into the creamiest smoothie ever. Yum. 

This recipe also calls for a scoop of Greens+ powder, which has spirulina, chlorella, bee pollen, and all sorts of healthy stuff in an all-natural energy enhancing citrus blend. Greens+ is the brand I'm most used to, but I'm sure any of the other superfood greens powder mixes out there will do the trick for an extra nutritional boost. 

You will need a magic bullet or blender for this recipe.

Serves 1 

• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 avocado
• 1/4 cup fresh washed spinach, fresh
• 1/4 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
• 1 scoop (13.6 gr) greens+ extra energy powder
• 1/3-1/2 cup cold water (less water for a thicker smoothie, more for a runny one)

This recipe is extra convenient when you double it. If not, you can freeze the other half of the banana for next time, and give the other half of the avocado a quick cold water rinse so it doesn't brown as easily before storing it in the fridge in an airtight container for your next smoothie. 

Slice up half of the banana into smaller chunks and scoop out half of the avocado and place into blender along with all other ingredients. 

Blend for a few minutes until smooth. Feel free to adjust water amount to desired consistency.
