# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but actually fuels your entire morning without the crash.
  • The whole thing comes together in 10 minutes, which means even on rushed days you're eating something genuinely nourishing.
  • Every spoonful crunches, pops, or melts depending on what you hit first, keeping it interesting until the bowl is empty.
02 -
  • Use a high-speed blender for this; regular blenders sometimes leave little bits of frozen berry that catch in your teeth.
  • Don't skip the yogurt thinking it'll be creamier without it—it's what makes the texture actually smooth rather than icy.
03 -
  • Chill your bowls for a minute before serving if you have time; it keeps the smoothie base cold longer and makes eating it feel more luxurious.
  • Make the smoothie base the night before and refrigerate it, then just add toppings in the morning when you're actually hungry.
