Orange Avocado Smoothie

Green smoothies are all the rage this year. I drink at least one a day and I've recently expanded my horizons from the staple banana and berry smoothie on to more adventurous, delicious and healthy options.  It is important to eat a varied diet to ensure we get all the essential nutrients we need.  I can't think of a more delicious way to get in a bunch of fruit, veggie and healthy fats in a quick and easy way than a green smoothie.  So you will be seeing plenty of smoothie recipes on my blog.  I got this idea from my friend Diana, and it is my favorite so far.  Disclaimer: I eat a vegan diet. This smoothie contains honey. Some vegans will argue that honey is not vegan. It probably isn't, but I eat it.  If you follow the no honey rule, sub it with agave or leave it out altogether, it's yummy without the extra sweetener too!


Serves 2

1 c. almond milk
2 naval oranges
2 c. baby spinach
1 banana
1 avocado
2 tsp. honey

Blend in a good blender ( I use the magic bullet but I have my eye on the Ninja) and enjoy!
