- Use Frozen Avocado: This not only chills your smoothie but also adds a creamier texture.
- Sweeten to Taste: Start with less sweetener and add more as needed to suit your preference.
- Add Protein: For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of unflavored or vanilla plant-based protein powder.
