Instructions:

Tips:
- Ensure the avocado is ripe to achieve a smoother texture.
- For extra sweetness, consider adding a banana or a tablespoon of honey.
- Blend the dry ingredients first before adding the liquid to ensure even mixing and a smoother consistency.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more soy milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
- For a thicker, shake-like texture, add a handful of ice cubes before blending.
