    Recipe Notes

    STORAGE
    Consume the avocado smoothie right away, or the avocado will darken. But you can refrigerate it covered or in a Mason jar for up to 24 hours. TIP: Make sure to remove the darkened layer from the top and mix well before drinking. Stirring in a few drops of lemon juice before refrigerating will help the avocado not to darken faster.
