How to Make Moroccan Avocado Smoothie
This refreshing smoothie is packed with healthy fats and fiber from avocado and banana. It's excellent as filling breakfast to-go, or as a pre- or post-workout snack. You can use almond milk or any other nondairy milk for a lower carb, vegan beverage. Or, for something sweeter and fruiter, you could use orange juice. Avocado is great in smoothies because it provides a rich, creamy texture.
