Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make Ahead: You can prepare all the ingredients the night before—just store them in a blender container in the fridge. In the morning, just blend and enjoy!
Ice Cube Trick: If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add more ice cubes. If it’s too thick, simply add an extra splash of almond milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
Storage Suggestions: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before enjoying!
