Banana-Avocado Smoothie


Learned this one in an Argentinian Bakery in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.  I saw it on the menu and had to have it.  It's a perfectly tropical, nourishing breakfast.  YUM.

1 ripe avocado
1 ripe banana
1 - 1 1/2 c milk (regular, soy, rice, coconut - I'm sure they all work well)
1 tbsp honey**
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 c ice
(Optional) 1 handful of washed, prepped greens (spinach, kale, chard collards, etc.)

**NOTE:  Use real honey.  This is an old post, before I found that most of the store-bought honey (especially in cute little bears) is  NOT real honey, but a concoction based on corn syrup.  I now buy honey from a farm market or at least make sure it is a local source of real honey.

Blend & enjoy!
