# Insider Tips:
01 -
- The avocado makes it impossibly creamy without any dairy heaviness
- It keeps you full for hours thanks to the protein from Greek yogurt
- You can customize the sweetness and thickness exactly how you like it
02 -
- A slightly underripe avocado will leave tiny grainy bits that ruin the texture, so always check that it gives to gentle pressure
- If your blender struggles, add a tablespoon more milk and let it run longer rather than forcing it
- The longer this sits the more it separates, so drink it within fifteen minutes of blending
03 -
- Freeze your banana chunks beforehand for an even thicker, frostier texture without needing as much ice
- A frozen avocado half works perfectly if you have one, just let it thaw for five minutes before blending
