# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a tropical treat but actually makes you feel energized instead of sluggish.
  • You can make it in five minutes, which means you have zero excuses to skip breakfast.
  • The creamy avocado texture means you won't miss dairy or need any weird additives to make it smooth.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is actually better than fresh here because it makes the smoothie thick and cold without diluting it with extra water.
  • The avocado is what makes this creamy without dairy—don't skip it thinking you can swap it for something else, because you can't replicate that texture any other way.
03 -
  • If your smoothie splits or looks separated after blending, add a few ice cubes and blend again—this usually brings it back together.
  • The lemon juice does more than just add flavor; it keeps the whole thing from turning brown and tastes like you put effort into it even though you didn't.
