# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like a treat but powers you through a slump better than coffee
  • You can throw it together in 5 minutes even when your brain is not fully online
  • The avocado makes it so creamy you forget it is basically a salad
02 -
  • Overripe bananas are your secret weapon here because they add way more sweetness than you expect
  • If your blender is struggling, add more almond milk in splashes instead of forcing it to work harder
  • The avocado must be ripe or you will end up with weird chunks instead of creaminess
03 -
  • Use a high speed blender if you have one because it breaks down the spinach completely so you never get leafy bits in your teeth
  • Taste your fruit before you blend because if the banana is not ripe enough the smoothie will feel flat
  • The avocado half that you do not use will keep in the fridge with the pit in it and a tight wrap of plastic wrap for a day or two
