In the health department, berries have a fabulous reputation. They are full of antioxidants, high in fiber, loaded with Vitamin C and are also good for your heart and bone. Plus these summer fruits taste delicious adding a nice flavour and taste to your recipes.
While I love adding berries to almost all my smoothies, I particularly prefer a Berry Smoothie after a workout as it’s very filling and super nutritious, complementing my workout regime.
This Berry and Avocado Smoothie is my favourite – it is very rich, creamy, sweet and refreshing. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and avocados are the key ingredients in this post-workout breakfast smoothie.
Berries & Avocado Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 8-10 blueberries, 6-8 blackberries, 5 strawberries
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 plum
- 1/2 apple
- 6-7 raisins
- Almond milk {update: adding nut milk is not a good idea. Only use fruits and greens only to your smoothies, no granola or plant-milk}
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to blender
- Blend in your high speed blender until its smooth and creamy
- Empty your blender and immediately consume your smoothie
I like my smoothie rich and creamy, plus a little sweet, so sometimes I throw in half banana and a pitted date to the concoction. Works best post workout. I have tried Hazelnut milk with my smoothies, but somehow hazelnut milk doesn’t work too well with the fruit smoothies. It does not have the same flavor as regular hazelnuts nor does it have the same aroma. Prefer almond milk over hazelnut.
You can also try Mango and Avocado Smoothie during summer when you’ve had berry enough.
