Ready for a nutritionally balanced, zesty, refreshing, and filling smoothie? If yes, then you clicked on the right recipe. Made with eight ingredients, including blueberries, lemon, and avocado, this smoothie is exactly what you want on a hot summer morning. The healthy fats, protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates help to keep you full until your next meal, helping you avoid cravings and unnecessary snacking.

When you make a smoothie, you aim to include macro and micronutrients. Fat, protein, and carbohydrates are the three major macronutrients, and vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants fall under the micronutrient umbrella. The majority of the micronutrients come from the blueberries, lemon, and avocados, but avocados also offer macronutrients. Avocados contain healthy fats, protein, and a small amount of complex carbohydrates, which may help you regulate blood sugar levels.

There are two ways that you can go about making this smoothie. The first way is that you can freeze the avocado pieces and blueberries overnight, and then add them with the rest of the fresh ingredients to a blender. The other option is that you can add all of the ingredients to a blender, blend them up, pour the mixture into a jar, and refrigerate overnight. Your breakfast will be ready to go in the morning. You can also make a larger batch, divide the mixture between several jars, and place them in the freezer. You’ll have smoothies for the week!
