# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its a portable winter breakfast that keeps you full for hours without the sugar crash
  • The healthy fats from avocado and coconut milk turn a simple drink into something that feels genuinely luxurious
02 -
  • Your blender needs to be reasonably powerful to break down the chia seeds completely, otherwise you will have little gritty bits throughout
  • The avocado must be perfectly ripe, an underripe one will leave chunks and an overripe one can make the smoothie taste strangely bitter
03 -
  • Freeze your coconut milk in ice cube trays during summer, then use those instead of regular ice for an even creamier version
  • If the cinnamon flavor is too subtle, add a pinch now and blend again, but remember it will continue to develop as the smoothie sits
