In the health department, berries have a fabulous reputation. They are full of antioxidants, high in fiber, loaded with Vitamin C and are also good for your heart and bone. Plus these summer fruits taste delicious adding a nice flavour and taste to your recipes.  While I love adding berries to almost all my smoothies, I particularly prefer a Berry Smoothie after a workout as it's very filling and super nutritious, complementing my workout regime.  This Berry and Avocado Smoothie is my favourite - it is very rich, creamy, sweet and refreshing. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and avocados are the key ingredients in this post-workout breakfast smoothie. Berries & Avocado Smoothie Ingredients: 8-10 blueberries, 6-8 blackberries, 5 strawberries 1/2 avocado 1 plum 1/2 apple 6-7 raisins Almond milk {update: adding nut milk is not a good idea.

When I saw this smoothie it immediately r

If you follow my Instagram feed, you would already know my love for healthy eating {I try my best to eat clean} and smoothies which I am particularly obsessed with. Although with my sweet tooth, I will equally comfortably leap off a plane in London and head to Govindas for their heavenly delectable vegan cakes I miss back here in Mumbai. Now who doesn't know the importance of a good breakfast? From a no breakfast person I have gradually graduated to one of those people who need pretty substantial meal right in the morning to keep me up and steady. With my newly acquired love for smoothies {its been a year and a half} I have been experimenting with several concoctions to keep my breakfast filling and palatable. And trust me a glass of smoothie can really keep your food cravings at bay if you start to get hungry early on. Mango and Avocado Smoothie is one of my favourites in summers. I prefer using fresh ingredients and completely avoid frozen fruits considering there are so
