    Can you tell I have a touch of spring fever? The leaves and flowers have been slow to arrive in the Catskills in upstate New York. I couldn’t resist bringing my smoothie outside on this beautiful morning. I found a little crop of buttercups to serve as a backdrop.

    Then I sat in the warm sun and enjoyed my breakfast while I listened to birds sing. It was a lovely way to start the day.

    Basic Formula

    This avocado blueberry breakfast smoothie is a variation of my Superfood Smoothie recipe:

    • Sunflower seeds replaced the walnuts.
    • Mild baby romaine lettuce replaced the baby kale.
    • Ground cinnamon replaced the ground ginger.

    And I added some old-fashioned oats to make it more breakfasty.

    I always try to add some kind of nut or seed to my smoothies to boost the protein. I’m not a fan of protein powders. Aside from preferring food close to its natural form, I think protein powders make it too easy to overdue it. If you follow a healthy diet, you are likely getting all the protein you need without adding powders to the mix.

    Many of my smoothie recipes follow the same basic formula:

    • Plant milk
    • Banana or avocado
    • Dark leafy greens
    • Frozen fruit
    • Nuts or seeds
    • Dates or shredded coconut (if a little extra sweetness is needed)

    I encourage you to experiment to see which combos you like best!
