Avocado in a Smoothie?

For a while now, Michael has wanted to try an avocado smoothie that Kelly Slater mentions in one of his books.  This morning we went on that quest!

Avocado in a smoothie you ask?  Well I have to say that it would have to be one of our  new favs now!!  Honestly, you need to try it.  Here are the ingredients:

1 Avocado
1/2 cup of almonds
2 tablespoons of natural yogurt
2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence (the natural stuff is best of course but we just used imitation)
3 - 4 tablespoons of Agave Nectar (available from Health food stores)
5 - 6 cubes of ice (optional)

In a blender, add almonds and water and blend until it looks like a milk.  Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

YUM!  Great way to start the day or for a snack.
