I did drop some pounds after two months, and I was running plus lifting weights. I then transitioned to protein shakes with whey powder. I got my best results when I dropped the powders, used whole foods only, and counted calories in all shakes.

Avocado Banana Smoothie Recipe. Advertisement - Scroll down for Smoothie Recipe I have to admit when I first heard of a smoothie with avocado in it I really wasn’t sure.
Avocados in my salad or on my sandwich are great, but in a drink? Well, I decided to go ahead and give it a try anyway and I am so glad I did.
