This is such a versatile base recipe for your morning smoothie and you can choose to mix up the types of green leafy vegetables each time, perhaps starting with spinach (which tends to be relatively tasteless), progressing to more adventurous greens like kale, cavelo nero, parsley or swiss chard as your palette develops. Feel free to mix up the berries – raspberries, blackberries and wild blueberries tend to be the most nutritionally dense. The key to the smooth texture is the avocado and the frozen berries. What a powerhouse way to start the day!
