Sweet Avocado Smoothie

June 10, 2016 by towers

Here’s a low-glycemic breakfast or snack for you.  Similar to the chocolate pudding I posted previously, this recipe skips the banana and uses a little stevia to sweeten.  Also, we add a little protein and good nutrition with the collagen and egg yolks (only use the best quality eggs from free-range chickens that are organically fed–crack into a cup first to inspect as the yolk should stay intact with no odor).  If you are not eating eggs the eggs yolks could be left out.  A quarter cup of berries could be substituted for the cocoa powder.  That’s the nice thing about smoothies–you can really mix it up.

Serves 1

1/2 ripe avocado (skin firm but gives a little, inside still light green without brown)

1/3 to 1/2 cup water or zucchini “water”

1-2 tsp. raw organic cocoa powder

stevia extract

1-2 Tbsp. Great Lakes collagen powder

2 egg yolks

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Place all ingredients in a blender container except egg yolks and stevia.  Blend well.  Add egg yolks and blend by pulsing a few times–proteins in egg yolks supposedly can be damaged by blending so I take the precaution of adding them last and then blending briefly until just mixed.  Taste and add stevia to taste.
