Creamy Almond Butter Smoothie

Looking for a healthy snack to tie you over until dinner time?

Look no more! Try this Creamy Almond Butter Smoothie 🙂

Before I give you the recipe, let me tell you a little more about the star of today’s smoothie- the avocado.

I used to dislike avocados with a passion because I had no idea how to eat them and I did not like guacamole (and still don’t ;p) and that was the only way I had tried them.

Then, one day I had avocado in a smoothie in Montreal and it was LOVE at first taste. It made the smoothie sooo creamy and delicious. That’s when my love for this amazing fruit started :p. Today, I enjoy avocados in salads, frozen desserts, smoothies, soups and many more…

And here is why I am so happy I learned to love them:

Health benefits of avocados:

– rich in monounsaturated fats (great for your heart health)

– a great source of potassium (which regulates blood pressure)

– also a great source of B vitamins, folate and B6 (both essential for your heart as well as for your energy production)

– good source of copper and vitamin C (two powerful antioxidants that help you fight off free radical damages, which help you stay in good health and age gracefully)

– a great source of healthy dietary fibers (to help you eliminate toxins and promote a healthy digestive tract)

– and finally, a good source of vitamin K (which is important for proper blood and bone function).

Now that you know what avocados are good for, here is one way to consume them 🙂
