This high in protein low in calories smoothie tastes fresh, charges you with energy and gets your brain functioning at a higher level again. Banana and avocado give it a creamy taste while melted chocolate gives it a rich chocolate flavour without added sugar. Mint is a calming and soothing herb that has been used for thousands of years to aid with an upset stomach or indigestion. Lime will balance the taste well and charge you with additional vitamin C. As per the study “The world’s most nutritious food” almonds ranked the first with their protein, fibre and healthy fats.

We like almonds not only for their nutritional value but also for their taste. I try to implement them as much as I can in daily snacks and breakfasts. That is the reason I made homemade almond butter solely from roasted almonds. It is very tasteful and healthy, kids use it instead of Nutella on their bread and I also use it for smoothies like this one.

This mint-infused banana avocado smoothie I usually make for kids on the weekends when they wake up a bit later than usual so it is too late for breakfast but still two hours to go before lunch. It is a quick fix which makes them happy and fulfilled. Sometimes I add 1 tablespoon of honey.

It can also serve as a weight gain shake for those who want to gain weight quickly.
