Avocado time!

Now, I am no vegan, nor do I necessarily endorse giving up cheese in any way, but The Vegan Stoner is a great web-site for vegan recipes that are tasty for vegans and non vegans alike. I found a recipe for avocado pudding which looked amazing (about half way down the page). I decided to make it myself in the form of a smoothie by adding an extra half cup of soy milk and using vanilla soy milk instead of plain.

Ingredients (altered from the original recipe to make my smoothie):
1 Banana
1 Avocado
1 cup vanilla soy milk
3/4 cup ice
spoon full of agave
squirt of lemon (the original called for lime but I did not have any)
Enough granola to sprinkle on top (I used chocolate flavored)

Mix it all together (leave out the granola) in the blender till smooth and creamy.

It will be really thick (even though the soy milk has been doubled from the original recipe) so you will need to spoon it into the glasses. Top it off with a little granola and your smoothie is ready!

If you feel really ambitious and you want to stray from the vegan side of life, this would taste really good with bacon. Chocolate goes well with it too. I have also made this smoothie by using frozen bananas instead of ice if you want a creamier taste.

Whatever you decide to do, you wont need to do much. This smoothie is filling. I had one of these in place of lunch and felt full for hours.
