My favorite smoothie in the A.M. Avocados are packed with fiber, rich in potassium and high in essential fatty acids, which makes this beauty drink great for your your digestion, blood pressure, heart and skin!

Notes
Avocados: For this recipe, choose avocados that are ripe and soft.
How to Soften avocados: Wrap it in tinfoil and place on a baking sheet. Pop it in the oven at 200°F for ten minutes, or until the avocado is soft (depending on how hard it is, it could take up to an hour to soften). As the avocado bakes in the tinfoil, ethylene gas surrounds it, putting the ripening process into hyperdrive.
