Monster Green Avocado Smoothie

A great after school snack for kids and low calorie drink for adults. Avocados are technically a fruit and this fruit is full of nutrients like potassium.

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted (discard the skins and pits but spoon out the flesh)
2 1/2 cups of almond milk (skim milk is also wonderful to use!)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar or sugar substitute
4-6 cubes of ice
1/2 tablespoon of minced mint

Instructions:

1Place all ingredients into the blender and puree until you have incorporated all ingredients into a semi-thick smoothie.
2Poor into chilled glasses and serve with a fresh berry or wedge of fruit (strawberry, cherry, raspberry, blueberry or wedge of orange or bananna will work).

Cook's Tips:

A good serving size is aroun 4-6 ounces. This is a thick smoothie, add a tad more milk  if you need to thin it out.
