# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The avocado makes it thick and creamy without any dairy tricks
  • It keeps you full for hours thanks to the protein and healthy fats
  • The tangy yogurt balances the richness perfectly
02 -
  • The lime juice is crucial to prevent the avocado from tasting raw or grassy
  • Frozen bananas transform this into something almost like soft serve ice cream
03 -
  • Let the blender run a little longer than you think necessary to eliminate any fibrous bits
  • Use the tamper or pause to scrape down sides for that restaurant quality silkiness
