    • Avocado Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

    filed under: Food + Drink on April 27, 2013

    I recently started the Paleo Diet.

    As someone who has a full fledged addiction to carbs, dairy and sugar, this has been a challenge to say the least.

    Perfect Paleo Smoothie

    Having a smoothie for breakfast has been the norm lately, but I really found myself missing the milk or cream I would add to make it silky and smooth.

    So this morning I just happened to spot an aging avocado on my counter and thought… why not?  Of course, once I finished my smoothie and google “blueberry avocado smoothie” I realized I was the last person in the world to figure this out.

    Whoops, my bad. (Say that in your best “Clueless” voice)

    But, after some further inspection, I think the jumbled mass of ingredients I assembled is in fact not something I have seen on the internet before.

        Ingredients

        • 1 c frozen blueberries
        • 1/2 avocado
        • 1/4 c kale
        • 2 ripe bananas
        • 1/2 c freshly squeezed orange juice
        • 2 -3 cups water

        Instructions

        1. Place all ingredients in blender or juicer and mix for 30 seconds-1 minute. (I have a blender so I needed to mix a bit longer.)
        2. Serve immediately.

        Love that you can see little green flecks of veggie in there!

        This smoothie achieved everything I had hoped it would.  A thick yet smooth consistency, an abundance of healthy ingredients, and a satisfying great flavor.

        I just might make it one more day without cake. 🙂

          I am only on day 6… so have not really SEEN any results… but I can testify that the swelling I was experiencing from my pregnancy has dramatically reduced! 🙂

        Sometimes the best recipes are the accidentally created ones! I have two friends on the paleo diet, so I may succumb to peer pressure … but the good kind, especially with smoothies like these. I always feel tired at around 10 or 11, and I think it’s because I always have toast or a bagel for breakfast.
