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.
INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Strawberries
1 Large Avocado
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice

METHOD

Add milk in the blender. Add liquid first so that it is easier to blend the other ingredients

You can add the whole avocado without chopping

Strawberries also add a lovely rich color to smoothies

Add lemon juice

Add honey, maple syrup or sugar, but you can skip the sugar for a healthy smoothie

All set for blending

Cover the blender well so the lid does not come out
