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.

Avocado Smoothie

September 30, 2015 by towers

We had an avocado smoothie at a natural foods co-op in Seattle and found it to be surprisingly delicious.  If you like avocado, give this a try and let me know what you think!  You will need a juicer and a blender.  If you prefer it sweeter either juice 2 apples or add a little stevia.

Serves 2

1 avocado

juice of 1 organic cucumber

juice of 1 organic apple

1 Tbsp. lime or lemon juice

pinch of sea salt

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.  Spoon the avocado into the blender container.  Juice the cucumber and the apple with an electric juicer.  Pour the juice into the blender container.  Add pinch of salt and lime juice.  Blend thoroughly. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into each of two glasses.   Serve immediately.
