Growing up, there were no blueberries in the tropics. But there sure wasn’t a shortage of creamy, larger-than-your-fist avocados. Or bananas, for that matter. I eat healthy fats religiously, and I credit them for helping me get back to health. [Fat does not make you “fat”.] The moment I read that, my approach towards nutrition as…… Continue reading Blueberry, Avocado & Banana Smoothie
