Smoothie a la Avocado

This is quite possibly the most perfect avocado that I've ever cut into.  The color and texture were just right.  What made it even better was that my sister bought it and left it at my house for me!



Since my dad has been home from the hospital and started treatment, he's been doing a great job of eating mostly veg and tries pretty much anything I make him.

He's even been drinking carrot-apple juice and a green smoothie every day!  So so proud of him for trying new things.

Today's smoothie was blueberry, apple, banana, part of this avocado, almond milk and kale.  He mentioned it was a little thicker so he couldn't just "toss it down" like usual. (I thought it was great.  He's still adjusting)I'm sure it was the avocado, but I'm not sure I'm going to tell him that ;)

By the way, Dad's favorite things have been a version of the Unfried Rice from Appetite for Reduction (chock full of broccoli, chickpeas, carrots, peas and topped with toasted almonds) and the Black Bean Brownies from Super Immunity.
