# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The frozen banana creates this incredible creamy texture without any dairy whatsoever
  • You can throw everything in one container and be drinking it in literally five minutes flat
02 -
  • A chunk of avocado instead of half the banana makes this ridiculously creamy without changing the flavor much
  • Using ice instead of a frozen banana will water down the flavor so stick to frozen fruit if you can
03 -
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice right before blending instead of using bottled juice for the brightest flavor
  • Pre-portion your smoothie ingredients in freezer bags for dump-and-blend mornings
