In a bowl, mash the avocado lightly with a fork or potato masher. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Next add salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Season a little at a time and then taste it to see if it’s enough. Add more as needed.  Once it tastes good, stir in the cut up the tomato.

Ingredients:

  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, from 1 medium orange
  • 2 bananas
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Combine the avocado, orange juice, bananas, yogurt and sugar in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the ginger and blend until well combined, then mix in the lime juice and salt. Divide the puree among four glasses and serve immediately.

* I make this withough the yogurt and sugar, and add a little vanilla protein powder. It’s good either way 🙂 Also, when my brother was serving in the peace corps in Morocco he drank a very similar smoothie that also had dates in it. I’ve tried that too and it’s great!
