Citrus Berry Smoothie Recipe


This Berry Citrus Smoothie was fantastic! I included vanilla yogurt, flaxseed, spinach, blackberries, lime and avocado in this smoothie recipe. I am a huge fan of lime and it was a very prominent flavour in this smoothie blend. Originally, I had added half a lime in my blend but reduced it to ¼ of a lime because it was too sour.  
This blend isn’t as sweet as my other smoothies. Again, to add to the sweetness you can either add more blackberries or any other fruit. I tried out the avocado for the first time in my smoothies and I found it added a thicker, smoother texture, which I loved! Compared to my other recipes, this blend is very filling because of the yogurt and avocado. I wanted to try out the avocado because it isn’t a popular smoothie ingredient and I am so happy I did!
This smoothie is a great option for a breakfast substitute or snack in between meals. It incorporates a great variety of healthy ingredients that will have you feeling your best! I hope you enjoy this smoothie blend just as much as I did. Do something good for yourself and indulge in this delicious smoothie! I have posted the recipe for you below. Make sure yousubscribe to my blog and let me know what you think!
