Asparagus-Avocado Smoothie

Avocado really is nature’s little miracle. It gives whatever it’s added to a creamy and luxurious texture. Not only high in vitamins A, K, D, and E, avocados have proven to help with the absorption of other nutrients so they raise the nutritional value of other veggies and fruits around them . . . like when you use one in a smoothie.
