Ohh-la-la, you’re gonna love this one! The healthy mono-unsaturated fats in avocados keep the heart in shape by lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by 24 percent and raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol by 47 percent. This can reduce blood pressure by up to 13 points.
BLEND:
- 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/4 avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1 Tbs. almond butter
- 10 oz. cold water
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tsp agave nectar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Put everything in your blender (I recommend Vita-mix) and blend til smooth.

Here’s why I recommend Vita-Mix …
Vita-Mix & Phytonutrients
If you know me at all, you know there is one kitchen appliance I am passionate about — my Vita-mix blender! Yes, it’s at the top of my “Couldn’t Live Without” list — and yes, you’re going to see a plug for it on every smoothie recipe I write because using a Vita-mix blender gives your smoothies much more nutritional value than any ordinary blender possibly can! And because I care about YOUR health!
Here’s the “skinny” — Vita-Mix processing breaks open the cell walls to release maximum nutrition from whole foods, more than you can get any other way.
Vita-mix gives you verything you’d want from a blender and more! No question about it — the Vita-Mix blender is superior to anything else on the market and well worth the investment!
