Avocado-Lime Smoothie

I've been making this one quite a bit lately as it is very refreshing and smooth and has a big hit in "healthy fats" as well as "super food" designation due to its use of Avocado! It is fairly caloric, but avocados are nutrient dense and this combo with the zesty lime, and a touch of sweetness from honey, is really delicious. I love this after a workout because it also has a great boost of protein when you use Greek Yogourt!

Cut all ingredients by half if you want an individual serving, or save the second serving for the next day's power drink! TIP: save the avocado half in a covered container, into which you have added a Tablespoon of lime juice. The lime juice will help prevent the avocado from going too brown, and it will be pre-measured for your next smoothie!

Avocado-Lime Smoothie
1 Medium Avocado (cut in chunks)
2 Cups Almond Breeze beverage (or use any milk or substitute beverage you choose)
1/2 Cup Greek Yogourt
1 Tbsp Lime Juice (fresh squeezed if you can)
1Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
To make: Assemble all your ingredients and dump it all into a tall container. Use an immersion blender and give it a quick whir (15-20 seconds is usually plenty). If you prefer to use your counter-top blender, then that is fine too... I'm just a fan of the "easy clean up" with the hand-blender!
