Tips:

- Use frozen strawberries: For a colder and thicker consistency, use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones.

- Blend in stages: Start by blending the softer ingredients (yogurt, spinach, avocado) before adding the cucumber and strawberries to ensure a smoother texture.

- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a natural sweetener like honey, agave syrup, or a ripe banana.

- Add liquid: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of water, milk, or your favorite plant-based milk until the desired consistency is reached.

- Enhance flavor: For an extra flavor boost, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or a small piece of fresh ginger.

- Nutrient boost: For additional nutrients, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds, flax seeds, or almond butter.
