Notes

Use a ripe avocado for the creamiest texture.
Frozen banana creates a thicker smoothie without needing much ice.
Fresh lime juice brightens all the flavors.
Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice.
Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours in a sealed container.
