I present to you, one of the most scrumptious smoothies ever. It’s main ingredient? Avocados. Don’t knock it ‘till you try it. It’s absolutely, positively delish.
Avocado Smoothie:
Blend Together
1/2 ripe Avocado
Frozen Mango (at least 4-5 big chunks)
1 tbs honey
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1/3 to 1/2 cup Citrus-y juice (I used Pineapple orange)
*Yes I know the pic is in a beer glass. But it’s the coolest glass I own.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Avocado season. My landlord gives us grocery bags full of football sized avocados from his sister’s tree in Kaneohe. These suckers are huge and I literally love them so much, I eat them with a spoon.
Yeah they have a bad rep for having a lot of calories, but, I though I’d shed some light on why those calories are well worth it:
Show your bod some love, eat an avocado:
Nestled in my Husband and I’s Netflix instant queue was a little documentary called, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead… I know, quite an uplifting title. But by the end of it, I was nearly crying, at the edge of my seat, and amazed at how these guys changed their lives simply by controlling what they ate…only raw home made juice…for 60 days. It’s called a Reboot.
Don’t worry I am not suggesting everyone needs to go on a 60 day juice fast in order to look good in a bikini, you can keep on reading…
Sometimes, you just want to slim down, and sometimes I just need to be blunt. If you want to be a lean, mean, bikini wearing machine, you have to cut out the white stuff from your diet, and give some other colors some love.
White stuff: white rice, white bread, white pastas, white potatoes, cake, refined white sugars, and the dress code at Wimbledon. I think you get the point. Basically the biggest roadblock to achieving your weight loss goals, nutrition wise, is usually refined carbohydrates. The good news? All it takes to get back on track is a few easy substitutions.
Simply make sure that if you are going to eat a carb, it better be 100% whole wheat. Yup, just swap your usual for whole wheat pasta, brown rice, and anything made from 100% whole wheat flour. Beware of imitations, and if in doubt, cut it out. Then sit back, relax, and see how much better you will feel.
Do I still eat white carbs? You bet I do. How often? As rarely as possible (unless I’m on vacation). Basically I view a baguette or stack of flapjacks the same way I do a scoop of Ice cream with sprinkles on top. So use sparingly, but enjoy it when you do.
