# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The thick, spoonable texture lets you experience both smoothie and satisfying crunch in each bite, making it infinitely more satisfying than drinking your breakfast.
  • You can prepare all the ingredients the night before, so even on your most rushed mornings, youre just a 30-second blend away from something that feels special.
02 -
  • The banana must be sliced before freezing or youll risk burning out your blender motor trying to break down a whole frozen banana.
  • Adding all the milk at once often creates frustrating air pockets around the blender blade, so start with just half your liquid, blend until combined, then add the remainder.
03 -
  • Freeze fresh berries at their peak ripeness on a parchment-lined baking sheet before transferring to storage containers, preventing them from clumping together and allowing you to enjoy summer-quality berries all winter.
  • Warm your granola briefly in a dry skillet before topping your cold smoothie bowl, creating an incredible temperature contrast that elevates the entire experience.
