Avocado Blackberry Smoothie

The holidays are often a time of indulgence. Larger meals and more sweets. Once the festivities are over, many of us turn to healthier and cleansing solutions for meals. Smoothies are always a good choice to start the day, especially when creamy avocado and berries take the shining role, as they do here along with banana, almond milk and hemp seeds. In addition, not only is this smoothie packed with nourishment, but it takes hardly anytime at all to whiz up. If you like your smoothies sweeter, simply add more honey.
