Q: Rather than using fresh bananas, berries, or other fruits, stick them in the freezer overnight. Purchasing frozen fruits is often cheaper than fresh ones, and you'll be able to find things that may not be in season and therefore aren't available fresh. There are even frozen fruit combos, so it's never been easier to add a handful of papaya, guava, and pineapple, or blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries to your smoothie. Avocados are great additions to any smoothie. They add a creaminess as well as thicken up the smoothie and their taste is easily masked by other flavors. Simply remove the skin and seed, slice the avocado and toss it in the blender with the rest of your ingredients, like kale, celery, and juice. Adding mango is a light and refreshing way to thicken your smoothie. It's also low in fat and high in vitamin C. Combine mango chunks with coconut milk, pineapple, raspberries, and ice for a fruity, sweet smoothie. A banana is the go-to ingredient for many smoothies. You can combine one with berries and other fruits, as well as oats, nut butter, and protein powder. Not only will a banana thicken your smoothie, it also adds potassium and fiber to the drink. Pumpkin puree adds a delightful taste of fall while also thickening up your smoothie. Try a smoothie made from almond milk, pumpkin puree, bananas, and cinnamon. You could even sweeten it with a little honey, if desired.
A: Use frozen fruit to thicken the smoothie. Add avocado for a creamy texture. Try mango for a refreshing flavor. Increase your potassium with a banana. Boost the richness with pumpkin puree.

Q: Your DBA ("Doing Business As") filing must indicate what kind of business entity you are registering. Also, how you choose to organize your company will reflect on the form your business name must take. Consider consulting with a tax professional to determine the benefits and disadvantages of each entity. You have several choices, most of which can be set up without the assistance of an attorney. A sole proprietorship is a business with a single legal owner. As owner, you assume legal responsibility for the operation of your company. As sole proprietor, you can style the DBA company name as you wish, but you cannot include "Corp.", "Inc.", "LLC" or any other suffix that would be misleading. In a general partnership, you and at least one other run the business jointly. Your partnership agreement will divide the work, the profits, and the legal liabilities. Your business name can indicate the partnership, but like a sole proprietorship, your company name cannot mislead the public into believing you are something you're not. Limited liability companies can be set up through the Texas Secretary of State for minimal cost and without the assistance of an attorney. If you choose this business entity, your business name must include "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company." The final choice is to incorporate your business. A corporation has enhanced reporting and tax filing requirements. Strongly consider discussing this with a business attorney before attempting to incorporate. A corporation must include "Corp." or "Inc." in the DBA company name. Before you file for your DBA company name, you should decide who will be your LLC members or business partners. Before you file, questions of how the business will be named and branded should be settled or you may incur additional fees and filings. Even if your business is mobile, it must have a permanent home base. For the DBA filing, you can use a post office box as your address. You will also have to designate your business area where you will be using the business name. The filing form allows you to designate "all counties." Every business in Texas must have a registered agent. This is the person that is authorized to accept legal papers on behalf of your company. The agent can be you, a partner, or an employee in your company. You can also name your lawyer or use a professional agent company. The registered agent must have a physical office in the state of Texas. This address will be public record, so you should not use your residence. Even if you do not have employees, you should apply for an EIN from the Internal Revenue Service. This filing number lets you shield your Social Security number from public records and if you business takes off, you'll be ready to make the proper tax filings when you hire people.
A: Decide on your business structure. Choose the partners or other business members. Establish your Legal Physical Address. Name a registered agent. Obtain your Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Q: You're probably super worried about keeping your kitchen and home stocked with necessities, but there's no need to fear. You're still allowed to leave your home to get the items you need to take care of yourself and your family. When you need something, go directly to the store and back home. Limit yourself to as few trips as possible. Ideally, you might go once a week. Try to send 1 person from your household at a time. This way, fewer people will be out so it's easier for everyone to social distance. Whether you have an existing condition or get sick, you're allowed to go get medical attention, buy over-the-counter medication, or pick up prescriptions. If you're going to the doctor, call first to make sure you need to go into the office, as some appointments may be conducted over the phone. When getting medication, go directly to the pharmacy or drug store and back home. You can also get over-the-counter medications delivered to your home if you prefer. Some pharmacies may deliver, as well. The thought of being inside all day might sound awful to you, so you'll be happy to know it's okay to go outside. As long as you aren't having a social gathering, it's okay to sit out on your porch, play in your yard, or do yard work. Incorporate these activities into your day to get a break from inside. Use the space you have! If you don't have a yard, open the door to your home and sit in the doorway. You might also sit by an open window. Fortunately, you're still allowed to enjoy nature while you're under the coronavirus shelter-in-place. You can exercise outside or just enjoy the scenery. While you're out, make sure you maintain a distance of at least 6ft (1.8m) between yourself and anyone you encounter. It's important to distance yourself from others because COVID-19 spreads through droplets spread by coughing, sneezing, and breathing. You're less likely to breathe in these droplets if you don't get too close to people. If you help out family members or friends, you might be worried that the shelter-in-place will keep you from visiting them. Luckily, you're still allowed to go to someone else's home if you're providing care to someone who's considered vulnerable, like the elderly. Just make sure you're going directly there and then back home. During the coronavirus shelter-in-place, you can provide daily care and assistance to anyone who is elderly, has a disability, or has a health issue. Additionally, you can go to someone else's home to care for minor children. For instance, it would be okay for you to go to your elderly grandmother's home to give her medication or to babysit for your sister's children in her home. You may not be able to work from home if you're in certain industries, like healthcare. If you have one of these jobs, you're allowed to leave your home to go to and from work. Check with your boss to make sure you're supposed to go to work, then continue with your commute. You can likely leave your home to work if you're in the following fields: Healthcare, such as doctors, hospitals, pharmacists, and staff First responders Grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks, and convenience stores Government services and public transportation Construction, refineries, and plants Utilities and trash pick-up Gas stations Hardware stores, repair shops, plumbing, electrical work (for essential needs) Education (for distance learning only) Childcare facilities (for children of essential employees only) Delivery services Laundry services Security Media organizations
A:
Shop for groceries, pet supplies, and household items weekly. Get medical care and pickup medications when necessary. Spend as much time as you like in your yard or on your porch. Go for a walk, run, or hike outdoors, but stay away from others. Provide care to a family member or vulnerable person in another home. Go to work if you're in an essential job and can't work from home.
