Creamy Berry Avocado Smoothie

Smoothies are a fun and delicious way to get your kids involved in the kitchen and get them exposed to a variety of nutritious ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, and spices.
This is a delicious recipe that I have made in many of my kid's cooking classes and it has always been a hit, even with the less adventurous eaters. 

Give this recipe a try and feel free to make modifications. The great thing about smoothies is that there is typically a lot of freedom for improvisation as long as you have somewhat of an idea how each ingredient contributes to the final outcome of the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk (regular, hemp, coconut, etc.)
• 1/4 avocado (peeled)
• 1 banana (frozen or fresh)
• 1 handful of spinach (or chard, kale, parsley, etc.)
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp flax seeds (ground)
• 1/2 -1 tsp vanilla

Instructions: 
1) Pour hemp milk (or whatever liquid you're using) in your blender and then add all of the other ingredients to the blender. Adding liquids first and heavier ingredients at last will make it easier for a vortex to form and allow for a well blended smoothie. 
2) Keep the blender running until everything is pulverized and your smoothie is creamy. 
3) Enjoy!
