:: Avocado and Mango Smoothie ::
Oh my I don’t know about you, but I have been in a total downward spiral with food this summer. This Avocado and Mango Smoothie is the perfect way to help you to get back on track. These past couple months have been filled with cotton candy, s’mores by the fire, cheese paired nicely with a glass of wine, and a few other summer time sweets…not to mention a whole lot of ice cream. Wonderful food and memories make summer time a blast, but now it’s time to look ahead to a successful upcoming school year with a little menu planning and a few quick and easy breakfasts that can get the kids out the door and Mama off to a great and energetic start to her day. This Avocado & Mango Smoothie is creamy, filling, and healthy. It is a cinch to make and with the abundance of local {California} avocados in season and a mixture of bananas, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and a staple of frozen mangoes, packs this meal with protein. All of which I think we lack a little at breakfast time. I am a firm believer that breakfast makes or breaks your day. When we are running behind and I don’t plan ahead, I often find myself hungry throughout the day. This smoothie helped me feel satisfied until lunchtime. Sara and I have been looking forward to planning a little ahead with some of our favorite easy weeknight meals, a few healthy choices, and of course some sweet fall dessert favorites. Stay tuned to our upcoming “back to school” recipes. Enjoy!
