Lazy Saturday mornings call for smoothies. Decadent, creamy, ice-cold smoothies. Smoothies that taste like I put a pie in the blender. Powered up with a handful of spinach and a few other superfoods, this glass definitely started the weekend on a good note
Saturday Morning Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 frozen ripe banana
1 cup almondmilk
1/4 avocado
1/2 cup yogurt
1 T. flaxseed
handful spinach
3-4 ice cubes
squeeze of lemon juice
Extras: 1 T. Agave, bee pollen, green powder (optional)
Directions:
Blend it up, then top with granola, nuts, oats, or anything you want
This smoothie took less than 10 minutes total to make, and that includes putting away everything I pulled out of the fridge, as well completing the dreaded washing-of-the-blender.
Green smoothies are a magical thing.
Done, done, and done.
Looking for something warmer?
Heather’s Spicy Quiche sounds amazing…
and I’m definitely making Kylie’s Healthy Apple Pie Breakfast asap!
Here’s to a great weekend!

Come make me breakfast please?
Only if you make breakfast for me!:)
Yum! I love finding new healthy green drink recipes. I will be trying this out for sure!
Gorgeous pictures! I would love to gulp that smoothie down right now. It’s been too long since I’ve had one. I NEED to try avocado in mine!
Love the links. Also love that you add avocado to your smoothie! such a good idea
This smoothie sounds perfect for Saturday morning, lazy or not
!
I love putting frozen bananas in smoothies! It makes them so thick and creamy. I haven’t had a smoothie in awhile, but I keep seeing everyone making posts about them. I think I’m going to have to break out my blender really soon!
Looks SO yummy. I need to make smoothies more often. Question-Can you taste the banana a lot in this recipe? I am not a big lover of bananas, so I tend to shy away from using them in smoothies. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend
That quiche looks awesome. I really need to try making some because I keep seeing so many great quiche recipes that have been tempting me!
Yum! I bet the avocado makes this smoothie amazingly creamy
Amazing! I absolutely LOVE putting avocados in smoothie because it makes it so creamy and when your smoothie already green, why not?
Ooooo I want your food! So yum!
The quiche looks yummy! Have a great weekend!
yumm! i had spinach, flaxseed and almond milk in my smoothie today too ♥
Wow, you make green smoothies look good. It looks super creamy and delicious.
I have been ALL about the green smoothies lately. I think I am trying to get some happy into these cold winter days! This morning I put grapefruit in mine. It was interesting for sure but with the mango actually pretty tasty : )
Quite a perfect way to start off your Saturday! I have been on a smoothie kick lately too.
They are so delicious! Even if you have to shiver while drinking them
Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for the ‘link love’ girl!!:):):):)
A wonderful smoothie! So nutritious. A great way of starting the day.
Cheers,

Thank you! I made it again this morning- so good! Have a great day
“Smoothies that taste like I put a pie in the blender” — YUM! I’m in
That smoothie looks AMAZING!! Definitely going to try this when I return to NJ!!!

YUM, that sounds like a great smoothie combo – I never think to add avocado!!! I mean I add it to everything else! http://www.colorushealthy.com
I have been having my weekly green monster smoothie on saturday mornings as well. Great minds think alike!
haha I’m definitely into the idea of putting a pie into a blender as well for flavour
