AIP Friendly Blueberry-Ginger Avocado Lime Smoothie
This smoothie is a serious treat — creamy, bright, and just the right amount of zingy from fresh ginger and lime. The half avocado blended with full-fat coconut milk creates a lush, velvety base that feels indulgent without relying on any dairy or grain-based thickeners. Frozen blueberries bring deep berry flavor and a gorgeous purple hue, while a tablespoon of honey keeps the sweetness natural and easy to adjust to your taste. The autoimmune protocol can make grab-and-go breakfasts feel like a minefield of off-limits ingredients, but every single thing in this blender is clean and compliant. Fresh grated ginger adds a warming, anti-inflammatory kick that makes this feel more like a wellness ritual than just a quick drink. It comes together in under two minutes and makes two generous glasses, so it's just as good for sharing as it is for meal-prepping your morning. A little lime zest on top takes the presentation from casual to genuinely beautiful.
