I drank this Strawberry Avocado Smoothie almost every single morning for breakfast through the first trimester of my pregnancy – it’s all I wanted! Cravings aside, this smoothie is absolutely delicious, perfectly sweet without being overly so, and filling enough to keep me happy until lunch. Plus it’s a great way to start your day off with 28 grams of protein! I love adding avocado to my smoothies for the creamy texture and the filling healthy fats. It blends right in and the overall flavor is still fruity. To view your current WW Points for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!

Part of the reasoning for this is to offset the possibility of members over-consuming fruit, etc and counting it as free (it’s much easier to over-eat fruit in a smoothie without feeling full than it is when you’re just eating the individual pieces of fruit). Since this smoothie only has 5 strawberries, a couple pineapple chunks and an individual container of yogurt (not an unreasonable amount to eat in one sitting), I sometimes track it as 3 SmartPoints (the total without the fruit and yogurt). I am not at all suggesting that anyone else do this, as it is not what Weight Watchers would officially recommend, I’m just letting you all know!
