# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but fuels you through morning meetings without the sugar crash.
  • Everything blends in under two minutes, even if you're half awake.
  • The toppings turn a simple smoothie into something that feels intentional and satisfying.
02 -
  • If your blender struggles, add a splash of milk or water, too thick is better than too thin but you need it to actually blend.
  • Freeze your banana slices the night before in a single layer so they don't clump into a frozen brick.
03 -
  • Slightly under-ripe bananas freeze better and blend smoother than the spotty sweet ones.
  • Run your blender for an extra ten seconds after it looks done, that final push makes it impossibly creamy.
