# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but actually makes you feel energized and clear-headed all morning.
  • You can throw it together in under five minutes, which means you'll actually make it on busy days.
  • The creamy richness from avocado makes it feel substantial without being heavy or complicated.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is non-negotiable here—if you use fresh mango, add real ice and accept that the drink will be thinner and more juice-like than creamy.
  • The avocado needs to be actually ripe, not just soft; an unripe one makes the whole thing taste slightly bitter no matter what else you do.
03 -
  • Buy avocados slightly under-ripe and let them sit on the counter for a day or two, so they're perfect when you want to make this—no scrambling for ripe ones at 7 a.m.
  • Pre-portion frozen mango into small bags so you can grab exactly what you need without thawing a huge bag.
