5 smoothie recipes to fuel a disease-free body

1. Avocado Banana Smoothie

  • 2 cups coconut water
  • 1/2 avocado, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 12 ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  2. Add the following 6 ingredients, and continue to blend until smooth.
  3. Serve in frozen mug or glass. Top with banana and crushed nuts, if desired.
