Avocado Milkshake

So yestetday was a really random food day for me. I started breakfast off with a piece of whole grain w/flax seed toast with sugar-free jam. My second meal was 1 egg white and an avocado milkshake I improvised (recipe follows). Avocados may look like a high calorie high fat food, but they are healthy fat, and I <3 them! Third meal was a whole egg, 1 egg white,  a snack size turkey stick, and I cheated and ate half of a snack size bag of doritos before I smacked my own hand and put it down. My fourth meal was miso soup, a salad with grilled chicken. My fifth meal was a 100 calorie bag of popcorn.

Avocado milk shake:

3/4 of a whole RIPE avocado
1/2 c. Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 c. Skim milk
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
4-5 Truvia sweetener packets
1 c. Ice

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Add more milk if too thick. Add more ice if too thin.

Calories: 310 calories
Protein: 16 grams

Next time I am going to add a little vanilla protein powder for more protein, and you can cut the avocado portion down to half an avocado, if you want to cut the calories and fat  down.
