Berry Avocado Yogurt


Instead of leaching calcium from your bones like pasteurized yogurt does, this yogurt provides you with vitamins, A, B-complex, C, E, H, K, and folic acid, plus the minerals magnesium, copper, iron, calcium, potassium, all of the essential amino acids (those that must be provided by our diet), with 18 amino acids in all, plus 7 fatty acids, including Omega 3 and 6. And that's just what's in the avocado! This yogurt makes for a delicious and filling breakfast, especially if served with a handful of nuts, seeds, or meusli.








BERRY AVOCADO YOGURT

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 banana
1 avocado
1/2 cup frozen or fresh berries
1 tbspn raw honey (can also use agave nectar)
1/2 cup fresh berries (optional)
1/2 cup muesli, nuts, or seeds (optional)

1. In a blender, blend banana, avocado, 1/2 cup berries, and honey until smooth. (You may have to use a little bit of water to get the blender moving) Taste for sweetness and add more honey if necessary.
2. Serve with fresh berries and meusli, or nuts if desired and garnish with banana slices.

*This yogurt tastes really good if it's a little cold which is why the frozen berries work well. If using fresh, you may want to refrigerate for a bit before serving.
