A smoothie is probably the quickest breakfast idea you will ever come across, that is healthy and fulfilling too. Smoothies are also popular with kids which means that you don’t waste time forcing it down their throats!
Adding avocados to your smoothies not only makes them thick and creamy, but also adds immensely to the nutritive value of the smoothie.
Avocados have several benefits which include a healthier heart, lowering of blood pressure, preventing diabetes, healthy skin, cancer protection, arthritis treatment, relieving constipation and even helping in weight loss.
This Chofeecado Smoothie is a deliciously healthy and quick breakfast idea and is the perfect option for when you are pressed for time… AND, its also very popular with kids (Please Omit the coffee though!)

Serves 2
1 large avocado
500 ml milk (about 2 large glasses)
2 teaspoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
