Supremely Green!

Like avocado?  Met too.  I'm also a huge fan of the health benefits.  They're full of good fats, they have tons of fiber (10g per serving - 40% of the daily recommended value!), 3g of protein, and are bursting with vitamin E. They're low in cholesterol and contain the very useful antioxidant glutathione, which has been shown to prevent prevent certain types of cancer, heart disease, and slows the aging process (see abstract).

I took an Ethiopian approach today and turned avocado into a sweet drinkable treat.  I used Hass Avocados but with over 40 species to choose from, you can use your imagination. Combined with apple, kale, and walnuts they make a scrumptious smoothie that will fill you up and energize you for hours!


The Supreme Green Smoothie

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 green apple
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup kale juice
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 4 tbsp honey

Juice the apple and kale and add it to the blender with everything else.  If it's too thick you can add more coconut milk or just a little water.

Enjoy!
