Avocado Smoothie

This morning I cut an avocado in half and was disappointed to find that it was streaked inside with brown. On Friday when this batch of avocados came into the Co-op they were perfect (I know because I cut one open myself and checked), but by today, the one I purchased looked like a mess inside.The avocado tasted fine, it just looked very unappetizing. I remembered seeing a recipe for a smoothie that had avocado in it in the latest issue of Vegetarian Times, so I decided to give that a try. I didn't have some of the ingredients their recipe called for, so I just threw together some things I had on hand. It was luscious!
