Avocado Berry Smoothie
As a nutritionist, I appreciate the nourishing qualities of this delightful smoothie. The combination of frozen mixed berries brings a burst of antioxidants, while the pear adds natural sweetness and a dose of fiber. Avocados contribute healthy fats, promoting satiety, slowing down the absorption of sugar and supporting brain function. Dates not only enhance sweetness but also provide additional nutrients and energy. The cinnamon kick makes this recipe a delicious and health-conscious addition to your daily routine.
