💡 Freeze your milk into ice cubes beforehand and use them in place of regular ice for an ultra-thick, milkshake-like texture without diluting the flavor.
🥑 For a banana-free creamy texture, add a quarter of an avocado or a tablespoon of soaked chia seeds before blending.
🧊 Skip plain ice cubes entirely—they water down the smoothie. Use frozen fruit or milk cubes for a colder, thicker result.
