# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a milkshake but somehow makes you feel virtuous instead of guilty.
  • You can make it in under five minutes, even with your brain still half offline.
  • The avocado makes it ridiculously creamy without needing yogurt or bananas alone.
02 -
  • Do not skip the lemon juice, it makes the whole thing taste alive instead of flat.
  • If your avocado is not ripe, the smoothie will be chalky and sad, so squeeze it gently before you cut it open.
03 -
  • Use frozen banana slices instead of ice to keep it creamy and thick without diluting the flavor.
  • If your blender struggles with greens, add the liquid first, then the spinach, then everything else on top.
