Avocado & Blueberry Superfood Smoothie

This one is a big favourite in my household. It makes for the most delicious in-between meals snack or morning smoothie, and it's packed with some of the best superfoods we all know and love! 

The blueberries provide a great source of immune boosting antioxidants, whilst the avocado provides a great supply of fat-fighting, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and anti-aging nutrients! 

Now, don't be put off by the addition of spinach and the bright green colour, you won't even taste it! It actually helps to give a bit of volume and smoothness to the smoothie.. Plus it's a great way of getting in an extra portion of those all essential detoxifying greens into your diet! The high iron content also makes this smoothie great for those who suffer from anaemia - an issue I used to suffer with prior to adopting a healthier 'greener' diet!

Apart from the amazing nutritional content of this smoothie, the best thing about it is that you probably wouldn't even think of marrying these ingredients together... But somehow they work in perfect harmony! It's thick, creamy, tastey, nutritious and just jam packed full of goodness

Ingredients:

50g avocado (about 1/2 medium sized) 

50g blueberries (about one large hand ful) 

50g spinach (about one large handful) 

200ml unsweetened almond milk 

1 serving Reflex natural vanilla whey* see below for possible substitutions

1/2 tsp cinnamon

10g honey or sweetner of choice (NB: you may need to omit if using a sweetened whey!)

Ice

Simply blend in a food processer or with a hand blender until smooth, and enjoy!

* You could just omit the protein powder, however it's a great way of making the smoothie more filling and adding sweetness without the added calories! Alternatively, you could a couple tbsp of Total greek yoghurt for that extra protein hit!
