Zenergy Avocado-Blue Smoothie

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Symphony of Flavors: Zenergy Avocado-Blue Smoothie! This recipe will turn you “green with envy”, so to speak. Because the ripe avocado tends to be smooth and creamy, it needs added flavor for pizzazz. Hence, bananas and blueberries enter the picture. I typically have frozen banana slices in the freezer, measured by the “one-banana-per-freezer-bag” method. It not only chills the smoothie, but it actually keeps it cold until you’ve finished drinking it. The touch of sweetness comes from the agave nectar. Before you turn up your nose and head the other way, give it a chance. You may find yourself receiving a pat on the back for such a healthy morning choice.
