Whenever I get a chance, I try to make smoothies for breakfast. During the early stages of my marriage, when we both had normal work schedules, both, me and my husband resorted for smoothies as our breakfast. I loved those days!
It’s been difficult to keep up with that routine, so I sneak in a few of these with healthy salad recipes. I also sneak in a tall glass in place of snacks, right before my workout schedule. This smoothie is a great replacement to protein shakes, with the energy boosts from the fruits, nuts and seeds. The thickness of the avocado, yields a nice texture to this recipe, as well.
