Blu-cado Smoothie
It’s fall, but we aren’t ready to give up our summer smoothie just yet.
This combo is loved by the boys for it’s creamy and sweet and has a fun purple colour.
We call it Blu-cado because blueberries and avocado are the stars of this smoothie. Not only do these two taste yummy together, but the Vitamin K in the blueberries is better absorbed with avocado’s healthy fat.
Blueberries are a super fruit for the brain. You could even call them brain-berries for they help to improve memory, and protect nerve cells for healthy cognitive function.
Avocado is also a power food for brain health. It’s healthy monounsaturated fats promote healthy blood flow.
This brain boosting smoothie makes a great breakfast and will keep bellies full for hours.
