Every once in a while while creating healthier food choices, you stumble across a clear winner. I’ve been experimenting with smoothies for over 8 years now, and this recipe is clearly the most delicious (and healthy) smoothie I’ve ever created.
Using the tropical feel of coconut and combining it with the lightly sweet, yet tart taste of raspberries, was a great start. Adding in the creaminess of avocado was just pure genius!
I encourage you to give this smoothie a serious try, and it just may become your new fix!
