# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's so creamy and naturally sweet that you forget you're drinking two cups of greens.
  • Takes five minutes from counter to cup, perfect for chaotic mornings.
  • Keeps you full for hours thanks to the avocado and chia seeds.
  • The color alone makes you feel like you're doing something good for yourself.
02 -
  • If your avocado isn't ripe, the smoothie will taste bland and won't blend smoothly, so wait an extra day or two if it's still firm.
  • Don't skip the lemon juice, it cuts through the richness and makes the whole thing taste brighter and more balanced.
  • Frozen fruit is better than ice cubes because ice dilutes the flavor as it melts.
03 -
  • Add a small handful of fresh mint leaves for a bright, cooling twist that makes it taste even more refreshing.
  • Use frozen banana slices instead of fresh if you want an extra thick, almost ice cream-like texture.
  • Blend the spinach and liquid first for 10 seconds before adding the rest, it prevents any leafy chunks from hiding at the bottom.
