Tips for Success
- Ripe avocado makes all the difference—look for soft but not mushy.
- For a colder smoothie, freeze the banana or kiwi ahead of time.
- Want a thicker texture? Add less milk or toss in a few frozen mango chunks.
- Blend on high for a full 30–45 seconds for ultra-smooth texture.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
This smoothie is a meal or snack on its own, but pairs beautifully with:

Storage & Prep Ahead
