Most of us 
are accustomed to eating avocado in its savory form, usually as guacamole or part of a salad.
In some parts of the world — especially Indonesia and the Philippines — avocado is commonly included in sweet concoctions.
Fret not: although this delicious breakfast smoothie utilizes avocado to achieve a creamy texture, its taste goes unnoticed. The key is to use very ripe fruit in order to provide a good amount of sweetness.
This is one of my favorite breakfast foods whenever I’m in a rush. The combination of healthy fats, fiber, and protein keeps me full through most of the morning!
