Do you remember the Shamrock Smoothie from McDonald’s?! How good was that?! But not so good for you! Here is a great way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day while still staying healthy and feeling good! This smoothie includes spinach and avocado to make it green. Avocado in a smoothie may sound weird, but it actually gives it a great, smooth and creamy texture. The base is unsweetened almond milk. You can use another nut milk of your choice, but be sure to find a brand with no sugar. I also added banana, cinnamon, honey, almond butter and coconut manna. Hope you enjoy! Get your green on today!
