Rise and Shine Avocado Smoothie Recipe

What’s for breakfast?  Why not an avocado smoothie?  The healthy fat will keep you going well into lunch!

I’m a bit obsessed with avocados!  Actually a lot obsessed.  I consider them to be one of my favorite all time foods, so when I got the chance to ask Chef Pati Jinich who hosts the highly popular PBS series called Pati’s Mexican Table, all about avocados I jumped at the chance!  After all avocados can be used for so much more than just guacamole! I love incorporating them into my breakfasts because they are packed with nearly 20 good for you nutrients, healthy fat, and they help stave off mid morning munchies!  Whether I am cooking eggs, pancakes, parfaits, or smoothies, adding a fresh avocado from Mexico helps make my breakfasts amazing!

Check out my interview with Pati Jinich!

Did you know the USDA states 44% of Americans eat breakfast every day. This means over half of the American population skips the most important meal of the day!  According to a recent study conducted by Harvard School of Public Health, “Skipping breakfast may lead to one or more risk factors, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, which may in turn lead to a heart attack over time.”

Are you one of those who skip breakfast? You don’t have to be! Pati shared several breakfast ideas that incorporate Avocados! Plus make sure you check out this amazing Rise and Shine Avocado Smoothie Recipe! It’s SO yummy!
