I had 3 avocados sitting on my kitchen counter waiting to be used. Since we're all going to be out of town this coming week, I really wanted to use them instead of throw them away. I googled 'Avocado Breakfast' and found this cool site called The Amazing Avocado. I was looking to see if there was a recipe I could make that didn't have too many ingredients, since I wanted to use up what I had on hand. This fit the bill.
I figured this smoothie could go either way...really good, or totally nasty. Luckily it was the former. It actually kind of tastes like an Orange Julius with a slight hint of avocado...it's really good. And the craziest thing is that Jesse LOVED it! The boy won't go near pizza, but give him an avocado smoothie and he's all over it!
If you're a smoothie fan or looking for a quick, light breakfast idea, then I highly recommend this. I'm so glad I tried it. I almost didn't...I almost let the whole 'Ewwww...it's green!' thing prevent me from making it, but it was definitely far better than I was expecting. Oh, and I tossed a couple ice cubes in my blender...just so it would be cold when it was done. Enjoy!
