Perhaps I should have called this post “How to Get a 12 Year-Old to Eat an Avocado” or something like that because I just made it for Julia and she slurped it right up! I love it because it’s super-creamy and full of amazing fats. You don’t taste the avocado; it just adds a great richness. You’ll notice that I drizzle in the coconut oil at the end while the blender is running; I do this so that the coconut oil emulsifies into the smoothie and doesn’t solidify and clump up. This smoothie makes decadent breakfast, supplemented with some other protein source, or a great and filling snack any time of day! (if you try it at midnight, tell me; I even think it would be good then…)
