| Avocado-Banana Smoothie |
My kids are in the middle of finals. Only two more days to go and they will be done. I try to make healthy meals and snacks for them. If they had their way the would live on junk food and Starbucks. I made them an Avocado-Banana Smoothie for their pick me up the other day. At first, they were rather hesitant, avocado in a smoothie yeah right. I told them just to take a sip and if they didn't like it they didn't need to drink any more. They did try it and seemed to like it because when I went to clean up, the blender was empty. I am glad I poured myself a glass and did not wait till later. This was a very good smoothie and my first one with avocado. It had a nice rich creamy flavor and the avocado and banana combination was perfect. A beverage that is nutritious, delicious, and easy. This is a keeper for me.
