# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The avocado and frozen bananas create this ridiculously thick, ice cream-like texture without any dairy or added sugars
  • You can literally customize the toppings based on whatever you have in your pantry and it still works beautifully
  • Its one of those recipes that makes you feel like youre taking amazing care of yourself without any suffering involved
02 -
  • The key to the perfect texture is using frozen bananas, not fresh ones—this is what makes it scoopable instead of drinkable
  • Dont be tempted to add too much liquid or youll end up with a smoothie instead of a bowl you can eat with a spoon
  • You need a decent blender to break down the kale completely, or youll get unpleasant green flecks in your creamy bowl
03 -
  • Use the tamper tool if your blender has one to keep things moving without adding extra liquid
  • If your bowl starts melting before you finish eating, pop it back in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm up
