Blend, add banana (frozen or fresh), 1/2 avocado, and large handful of your berries, frozen or fresh. Blend again and pour! Drink up those minerals, vitamins A, C, K, phytochemicals, lutein, enzymes, proteins, healthy fats, and flavonoids! So easy and quick. Take it from a morning zombie, "You can do this everyday!"
