• 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

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!
