Happy Halloween, everyone! I cannot believe how the last several days have gotten away from me; I had planned to make something particularly Halloweenyfor this post, but simply did not have the time. I did have the time, however,to make this really yummy and healthy smoothie. There’s no pumpkin or chocolatein it (it’s not even orange!), but it is pretty delicious and very good foryou! The blueberries and spinach are full of antioxidants and vitamins, thewalnuts provide a bit of protein and omega 3s, the banana adds fiber andpotassium, the milk provides calcium and Vitamin D, and the avocado adds ayummy creaminess along with other health benefits (read more about the “alligatorpear” HERE).
It may not be Halloween themed, but perhaps it will helpcombat all those Halloween treats we’ve all been consuming!
Getting Started

I love having this smoothie for breakfast or even as a quickand healthy dessert, and  it's especially helpful on those busy days when I simply don't have time to make/eat breakfast. Instead of skipping the most important meal of the day (or having to stop for something generally unhealthy), I can throw this together in a jiffy and bring it with me. It fills me up, gives me energy, and I feel great about all the nutrientsI’m sucking up through my straw (you don’t even have to chew; you can’tget easier than that!)
Making it takes just minutes; simply add all of the ingredientsto your blender, pulse until the big chunks are pulverized, then blend untilsmooth! I'm pretty sure this will make you an official smoothie professional.
Wrapping it up
Give this smoothie a try, and don’t be fooled by thespinach and avocado into thinking this smoothie won’t taste very good, becauseit does, trust me! For best results, make sure to drink it fairly quickly fromthe time it’s made.
