    Avocado and Berry Breakfast Smoothie

    Drinks

    One of the many complaints we receive is that people do not have enough time to eat breakfast in the mornings.  This Avocado and Berry Breakfast Smoothie is the exact solution for those extra busy mornings.  

    I am sure that many of you have heard the saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  While every meal that we eat is important, consuming breakfast helps to get our day off to the right start.  When we go all night without eating, we need something to energize our bodies to begin our day.  

    Avocados have tons of healthy fats and potassium.  They bring so much flavor to anything you add them to. The berries in the smoothie have a ton of fiber that also help to keep us full and keep our digestive tracts running smoothly.  

    The best part about this recipe is that it only takes about five minutes to make! All you need is a cup of almond milk, some plain greek yogurt, ½ of an avocado, ½ of a banana, ¼ cup of blueberries and strawberries, nutmeg, and some ice.  Toss all of the ingredients into a blender and blend up until it is a nice, smooth consistency.  

    You can put all of the ingredients except for the almond milk and yogurt in a small baggie and keep in the freezer so it is all ready to go when you wake up in the morning.  Then all you need to do is to throw the fruit, yogurt, and almond milk in the blender and you can even drink it on the way out the door.  What do you like to put in your smoothies? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

      Why do you use Almond milk instead of regular milk? Also, why Greek yogurt? What is the difference there?

        Hi! Great question. Plain Greek yogurt usually has more protein/less sugar than plain regular yogurt, which I prefer. For the milk, I just prefer the flavor of almond milk. Hope this helps!

      Just tried this smoothie recipe today. I usually add more fruit and less liquid than what is in this recipe to my smoothies, so I was expecting it to turn out super watery and not very sweet. However, it turned out to be delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness and a great consistency! This is my very first recipe of y’alls to try. My cookbook is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, and I’m super excited to receive it and try many more!

        Hi! You can sub whatever fruits you enjoy. For extra potassium, go for spinach, plain yogurt, avocado, and/or cantaloupe in your smoothies. I actually enjoy adding pureed butternut squash to smoothies- it’s a great sub for bananas! xo

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true. For those not familiar with @gretchenrubin, she is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature, especially as it pertains to habits. Gretchen is the author of Better than Before, The 4 Tendencies and The Happiness Project and in this episode she shares the secret to creating health promoting habits that will work for you. ALSO: I want to also acknowledge that regardless of your tendency, forming new habits may be more challenging for people with ADHD or for neurodivergent folks, and these tendencies may not be one-size-fits-all.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
