Pro Tips for the Best Smoothie

  1. Use frozen banana slices for an extra creamy and chilled smoothie.
  2. Want it thicker? Add a few ice cubes or more yogurt.
  3. To make it sweeter, use a banana that’s heavily speckled or overripe.
  4. For an ultra-smooth consistency, blend greens (such as spinach) with the milk first before adding the remaining ingredients.

Pre-measure and freeze your banana, avocado, and seeds in small freezer bags or containers.
When ready to blend, just dump the pack into your blender, add almond milk, yogurt, and honey—blend and go!

How to Store Leftover Smoothie
