Healthy Berry Avocado Smoothie

Having a smoothie a day is an excellent way to get in a healthy dose of fruits and vegetables in one delicious cup! Enjoy this Healthy Berry Avocado Smoothie today! While I did receive the Vitamix E310 Explorian Series Blender for review through my partnership with Moms Meet, all opinions and the smoothie recipe are my own.

Berry Avocado Smoothie

There is just something satisfying about having a smoothie. Not just because they are a deliciously easy way to get in a few servings of fruits and vegetables, but a healthy protein smoothie also keeps me full longer. And if I am full, I don’t go grabbing for the chips and crackers 😉

Smoothies are very versatile, you can toss just anything in one and if you don’t like it, it’s only one serving and you know for next time. For example, I added green pepper to one of mine…let’s just say that’s not a smoothie recipe I posted here on the blog 😉 I have about 50 different healthy smoothies on here though, so be sure to explore them all!

In today’s smoothie creation, I added beautiful berries that I had frozen, some avocado, cucumber, carrot and some dried goods.

Here are some of the health benefits to the ingredients I selected for this Berry Avocado protein smoothie:

Raspberries – These beautiful berries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants and fiber.  They also have a high concentration of ellagic acid which has been said to help prevent cancer.

Blackberries – They are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C, not to mention they taste great and give your smoothie a rich beautiful color.

Avocados – Besides being loaded with the “good fat”, they help heart health, lower cholesterol and lower triglycerides. Plus, they make your smoothie extra creamy.

Cucumbers – These are great for rehydration. Cucumbers are also a great source of vitamin B, so that means they are a natural pick-me-up.

Carrots – This orange powerfood will give you vitamin A and is also linked to preventing cancer, giving you healthier looking skin and aids in digestion.

Cinnamon – Increases metabolism.

Turmeric – Is good for inflammation.

Chia seeds – Are little nutritional powerhouses.

Protein Powder – Helps you to stay fuller a bit longer.
