Substitutions

For almond milk allergy, substitute with any other dairy-free milk of your choice. For chia seeds or flaxseed allergy, use ground sunflower seeds as a substitute.

Alternative Preparations

Make a thicker smoothie for an on-the-go breakfast by not blending the avocado until fully incorporated. Add a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder for added muscle support.

Alternative Methods

Use fresh berries instead of frozen for a lighter flavor and texture.

Store any unused ingredients in the refrigerator or pantry, away from heat and light sources.

Shelf Life

Fresh berries: 3-5 days in the refrigerator Bananas: 2-3 days on the counter or 1 week in the refrigerator Avocado: 2-3 days in the refrigerator Chia seeds and flaxseed: 6 months to a year unopened, 4 months once opened when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place

Plating Tips

1. Use a large, shallow bowl for better presentation. 2. Arrange toppings artistically around the edge of the bowl. 3. Add a few fresh berries or edible flowers for a pop of color and contrast.
