# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a tropical treat even though it's basically liquid vegetables, which somehow makes healthy eating feel like a secret.
  • Ready in five minutes, so it's your friend on those mornings when breakfast feels impossible.
  • The avocado makes it so creamy you won't miss dairy or yogurt, and it keeps you full for hours.
02 -
  • The avocado is non-negotiable for that silky texture—it's what makes this different from any green juice you've ever had.
  • Frozen fruit keeps everything cold without diluting it with water, which I learned the hard way when I used fresh mango and ice on a hot day.
03 -
  • If your blender seems to be struggling, add the almond milk first and let the green leaves soak for a few seconds before blending—it makes everything easier.
  • A dash of vanilla extract or a tiny pinch of cinnamon adds warmth without making it taste like a dessert drink, which is my favorite secret move.
