Jump Start Your Day with this Simple Smoothie!

Oh the morning. Whether you love it or hate it, getting started for the day should include a breakfast that will be filling and energizing. Some love to sit down to a classic dish of eggs and bacon. Some prefer yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, granola, or just a cup of coffee. But what about avocados?


"Breakfast is everything. The beginning, the first thing. It is the mouthful that is the commitment to a new day, a continuing life" - A. A. Gill


Avocados are a super food. They are chalk full of healthy fats and they help with nutrient absorption. They also strengthen your immune system and have anti-inflammatory properties. The list of benefits is pretty extensive. In my opinion, an avocado a day is even better than an apple a day and will certainly keep the doctor away! But other than chopping an avocado for a salad or guacamole, how can you make sure you're getting enough of it's green goodness? Breakfast. Yep, you read that right.


Recently, I've discovered the deliciousness that is an avocado smoothie. I have seen variations of this smoothie but prefer to keep it simple. It's easy to whip up and the ingredient list is short. I usually drink this smoothie around 7:30 a.m. and I am not hungry again until 2 p.m.! Below you will find the easy instructions for this powerful breakfast smoothie. 


 Ingredients
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cup of fruit of choice (I like berries)
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • splash of water or dairy such as milk, heavy cream, almond milk, etc.
  • handful of ice cubes
  • sweetener (optional- I use monk fruit or stevia) 
Directions

Cut the avocado and remove it's contents using a spoon. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour and drink up this creamy and delicious breakfast!

5 Things I Love About My Job

I am blessed to have a job that I love. Each day is a chance to succeed and I am truly thankful that I decided to enter the insurance industry in the first place. I ended up in the industry like many others: accidentally. It was the summer after I graduated high school and I was sleeping in, like most 18 year-old girls do. I received a call from my mother who worked for a local insurance agency. She was frantic, telling me to hurry up and get dressed because the agency was looking for a new service rep and she wanted me to interview with them in the coming hour. I put on the most professional dress I owned, went to the agency, and the rest is history. Since that summer so many years ago and since learning much about the industry, I have been delighted to become a part of the team at Independent Insurance Center, Inc. When I decided to reflect on my favorite things about this job, I didn't find it difficult at all. 5 Things I Love About My Job 1) The Building When yo...
