👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Use ripe fruit – Spotty bananas and just-ripe avocados give the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Batch it – Freeze pre-measured bags with sliced banana, cubed avocado, and greens. Just dump, blend, and go!
- No high-speed blender? – Blend the soy milk and greens first before adding the other ingredients for a smoother result.
- Texture Tip – Like it thicker? Use frozen banana and just a splash of milk. Prefer it drinkable? Add extra soy or oat milk until it’s the consistency you love.
