# Notes:
01 -
Use fresh and organic produce to enhance flavor and nutrient content while reducing pesticide intake.
02 -
Freeze fruit like banana or apple chunks ahead of time to create a naturally chilled smoothie without ice.
03 -
Add almond milk gradually to control the consistency, achieving a creamy or more drinkable texture as preferred.
04 -
Experiment with different greens such as kale, collard greens, or Swiss chard to vary taste and nutrient profiles.
05 -
Blend chia or flax seeds first alone to avoid graininess in the smoothie.
