Avocado Strawberry Breakfast Smoothie

Healthy breakfast is the best way to start your mornings. Since I love avocado my first smoothie on my blog is avo-strawberry. This smoothie is creamy, filled with great nutrients like Calcium which is wonderful for your bones. The best part about smoothies is that you can substitute lots of ingredients to suit your diet and preferences. If you want sugar free, you can skip the sweetener, if you don't use dairy you can add water instead or use plant based milk like almond or soy. Smoothies are great breakfast options, great for weight loss or even a post work out drink.
