Tips & notes
- For a thicker, spoonable smoothie bowl, reduce the coconut milk to 3/4 cup and add a few extra ice cubes.
- The avocado is barely detectable but adds silky richness and healthy fat — don't skip it. Swap for 2 tablespoons full-fat Greek yogurt if you prefer.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze leftovers in a silicone mold and re-blend later. Stored in the fridge it will separate; just shake or stir before drinking within 24 hours.
