In an effort to eat more healthily I plan on starting my days with a healing or energy giving breakfast. It’s a smart way to start the day. Yesterday I started the day with an apple avocado smoothie. Yum! It is a thoroughly delightful smoothie that will put a pep in your step once consumed. Every ingredient provides healing qualities and together may help to keep symptoms of cardiovascular disease in check. What could be better?

Apple Avocado Smoothie by Diverse Dinners

 

Oh this is a yummy one. The creaminess of the avocado and the invigorating slight zing of apple and kiwi are balanced out by coconut water. I used Harmless Harvest organic and raw coconut water, but you can whichever coconut water you prefer.

A few of my friends were unconvinced that a smoothie that included avocado would be a tasty treat. My friends are usually willing candidates when taste testing is the order of the day, but somehow, the thought of avocado in a smoothie rendered them all rather unwilling. It took some coaxing to get them to agree to try a glass. It was so funny to see their faces ball up as they took their first reluctant sip, and then relax once realization occurred that apple avocado smoothies are a wonder. 

I am sure you will be much wiser and give this apple avocado smoothie a try post-haste. I am in need of this smoothie’s healing qualities, but even if I was not, I would still guzzle it down with a smile on my face, and I’m sure you will too.
