Avocado Banana Smoothie

I am obsessed with avocados!  They are definitely one of the tastiest things around (or at least I think so).  I try to eat one daily, but I typically use them in salads, dips, Mexican entrees, or just eat them plain.  I decided to experiment with this delicious green fruit as a main ingredient in a smoothie.  I always keep frozen bananas on hand, and I knew it would pair well with the avocado by adding just the right amount of sweetness.  If you want to adjust the added sweetener, you can use more or less of the raw honey.  I put chia seeds in all my smoothies to add in some omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.
