Avocado Mango Smoothie

This smoothie is soooo yummy!! This is exactly how I love my smoothies! Full of flavor, creamy, super filling and full of nutrients! 


I used sunflower flax snax in this smoothie just to add some more nutritional benefits, but you could use any type of nut or seed, or just not use any at all. 


Also, I added some coconut oil which is also for some added benefits. Two tablespoons of coocnut oil per day has so many benefits for you. It can boost thyroid function which helps increase your metabolism and help you lose weight. It also helps give you energy and can lower your cholesterol. Also, a study was proven that 2 tablespoons of coconut oil per day helps with weight control and lowers the fat around your abdominal that we all know is so hard to get rid of! Bottom line, everyone can benefit from coconut oil and by adding it to your smoothies is just a quick and easy way to get it.

- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 sliced cucumber
