Avocado Smoothie with Dates
Avocado smoothie with dates is not comparable with any smoothie idea I provided on smoothieidea.com, the reason is the unique presence of sugar in dates.
Yes, dates have both types of sugar complex as well as simple sugar: simple sugars in dates will help you give a quick energy boost if you’re going to perform a physically hard task like you’re going in the gym for weight training either for long cardio.
Im am going to reveal the smoothie recipes I had tried back in days when I am obsessed with going to gym for long hours, but let me tell you I am not a fitness enthusiast, these recipes are going to be focused on taste, but a little on health too.
Just imagine what you’re going to have when combine these two superfoods in your blender, nothing but an energy bomb. Let me tell you both these fruits are historically old and have equal competence in the list of fruits.

Why You Should Give It a Try
You must try due to the uniqueness of dates for having two differently abled sugars at the same time, most fruits or foods posses only one type of sugar at a time. In case of dates they have both simple and complex carbohydrates (sugars) at the same time.
The simple sugars will give you a quick energy boost for workout while complex sugars will stay in your body as energy reserve for future energy usage.
This smoothie will work on two things you take two pills one for headache and one for stomach pain both work simultaneously to solve your issues. Similarly, this smoothie will provide you energy from dates and fat-burning elements from avocado, almost all essential nutrients you can have just from this single but super smoothie..
