01 -

The avocado creates the most luxurious, creamy texture without any dairy
Spinach disappears completely into the vibrant purple, making greens feel like a treat
Five minutes from cupboard to glass, perfect for hectic mornings

02 -

A really ripe avocado is non-negotiable here, an under-ripe one will leave tiny grainy bits throughout
If your blender struggles with the spinach, add the milk first to get things moving before adding the heavier ingredients

03 -

Start with just one teaspoon of sweetener and let your taste buds guide you from there
If you don't have a high-powered blender, chop the spinach into smaller pieces before adding
