I'm an avocado girl, always have been always will be! I eat an avocado most days, but as I was researching some new breakfast ideas for summer I decided I should try an avocado out in a smoothie. I love smoothie's for breakfast in the summers. My house doesn't have air conditioning so a cold and icy drink is exactly what I crave in the mornings. I spent some time searching pinterest to find good avocado smoothie recipes, this one was my favorite of all the recipes I tried. I'll share with you my top two favorites as well as my other go to breakfast containing avocado.

Avocado Toast with Eggs

Toast the bread, mash the avocado, scramble the eggs... combine!
This is probably one of my favorite go to breakfast meals, especially before the gym. It is the perfect amount of food to allow me to have a great workout and not feel hungry again till lunch.
Hope you guys aren't too afraid to try avocado for breakfast. I promise you can't even taste it in the smoothies. The top smoothie I posted is my new obsession, I can tell you I'll be drinking it all summer long!
