To check if an avocado is perfectly ripe, gently squeeze it using the palm of your hand, avoiding your fingers. The avocado should have a slight give, but if it is too soft, it may be overripe. Additionally, the small stem cap at the top should come off easily, revealing green underneath. If the cap is not coming off, it's probably not ripe enough. If there's brown under the cap, it's overripe.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What's the best kind of honey to use for smoothies?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
<\/p>
You can use any honey you prefer, but raw, unprocessed honey tends to have a more robust flavor compared to processed honey. This is because the processing can diminish certain aspects of the ingredients. If you follow a vegan diet and need an alternative for honey, consider using maple syrup, agave nectar, molasses or golden syrup.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What if my smoothie is too thick?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
You can gradually add more water to the smoothie to achieve a thinner consistency. However, if you're having trouble drinking it, your straw might be too narrow. Consider using a wider straw, which measures 0.30 inches (7.62 millimeters) or more in diameter. A boba straw would work well. Additionally, a specially designed smoothie bottle can be convenient if you're enjoying your smoothie on the go, such as on the way to work.<\/p>

We believe that smoothies are best when made fresh, but we understand the importance of simplifying your morning routine. You can refrigerate a smoothie for up to 24 hours. While the ingredients may separate, and it might become a bit watery, a good shake before drinking will help restore a lot of its consistency.<\/p>" } } ] } ] } ]
