GREEN AVOCADO SMOOTHIE WITH CHIA SEEDS

Now that the holidays have come to an end I decided to start the new year with one of my favourite breakfasts. Partly because it is a tasty morning treat but mostly because I need the extra nutritional boost to get back into my daily routine. The reason for this is simple. Don’t we all indulge a little bit during Christmas? I sure do – shamelessly. I can not stay away from all the little snacks and treats that this season has to offer. It is about time I went back to tasty, healthy and filling breakfasts and this green avocado smoothie has been a favourite of mine since years.

Most of us know by now how incredibly healthy avocados are, but not many can spot a perfect avocado. It can be quite a gamble to cut an avocado open, but it doesn’t have to be. You can carefully apply pressure to your avocado with your fingertips. Perfectly ripe ones will yield ever so slightly. Unripe ones will be rock hard, if they are too soft, then you’re out of luck, and it has gone off most likely. Another good and straightforward trick is to check the top of it. Just carefully remove the stem. If it is almost white underneath then you need to wait for a little longer; it should be green for perfect ripeness.
