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.

Here’s the recipe!
