Raspberry Avocado Smoothie

I love fresh and easy smoothies because you can pack many nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables into them for a great refreshing snack or meal. This smoothie packs in heart-healthy avocado and arugula with sweet summer berries. The summer berries are packed with antioxidants, fiber and vitamin C. This smoothie can be used for a post-workout recovery smoothie by adding 1 scoop of all natural hemp or pea protein. The added protein helps with muscle recovery and repair after a hard workout.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (125 g) raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 handful arugula (rocket)
  • 1 cup (250 ml) unsweetened almond or coconut milk
  • 1 scoop unflavored pea or hemp protein, optional

Directions

  1. Wash all produce.
  2. Combine ingredients in blender.
  3. Blend until smooth, about 60 – 90 seconds.
  4.  Serve and enjoy!
