For this Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie, all you need is very simple fresh ingredients:
nectarines

avocado

Wholesome Organic Stevia®, to lightly sweeten things up
What I love most about this energizing concoction, is that is one of the few smoothies out there that doesn’t call for banana.
I know some of you don’t like banana, so if you’re not a fan, this drink is perfect for you.
Instead of banana, the avocado gives this smoothie its rich, creamy, delightful texture.
Avocado is also the only fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) that contains monounsaturated fat, which is the good fat our bodies need to function properly, and can also lower our bad cholesterol.
Additionally, avocados are also a great source of vitamins, magnesium, and potassium, and are full of fiber.
All the good reasons to eat and drink more avocado!
This Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie is also free of refined sugar.
Instead, I’ve used Wholesome Organic Stevia, which is Non-GMO, vegan & kosher.
Unlike most of the commercial chemically derived sweeteners out there, it doesn’t contain nasty chemicals and it’s 100% organic, it’s deliciously sweet but has zero calories. 
If you’re looking for a speedy nutritious breakfast, or drink to fuel you up in the afternoon, look no further.
This Nectarine & Avocado Smoothie is sure to become a favourite – Awesomely sweet, loaded with goodness, it makes the perfect, natural energy drink on the go!
