Avocado Cucumber Smoothie
When my mom began searching for creative breakfast ideas during lockdown, I came upon this recipe in our Vitamix recipe book. I wanted this new breakfast to be a refreshing and energizing, healthy and with no sugars, and this seemed to be the perfect fit. After many attempts and adjustments, I have come up with this recipe. This smoothie satisfies all the three things I wanted my smoothie to fulfill and most of all this is a very delicious drink. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
