# Tips from hearthlykitchen:
01 -
- The avocado creates this incredible creamy thickness that keeps the bowl frozen longer while you eat
- You can customize the toppings based on whatever crunch or sweetness youre craving that morning
02 -
- Never add ice to your smoothie base, it just waters down the flavor and makes it melt faster
- The avocado must be perfectly ripe or youll taste it in the wrong way
03 -
- Prep your bowls in frozen ceramic bowls and theyll stay cold even longer
- Use overripe bananas you stashed in the freezer, they add the best sweetness
