# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but you're actually nourishing yourself with greens and real fruit.
  • There's something deeply satisfying about eating breakfast with a spoon instead of drinking it, and the texture keeps things interesting.
  • The whole thing comes together in ten minutes, which means even on rushed mornings this feels doable and not like a compromise.
02 -
  • If your smoothie base ends up too thick to pour, you've actually created a frozen yogurt texture—add liquid one tablespoon at a time and stir, don't blend, or you'll end up with a soup.
  • Pre-portioning your frozen fruit into bags means you can throw together a bowl in under five minutes on mornings when five minutes is all you have, and your future self will thank you profoundly.
03 -
  • Invest in a high-powered blender if you plan to make these regularly—a regular blender can struggle with frozen fruit and leave you with icy chunks instead of that silky texture.
  • Blend your greens with liquid first for a few seconds before adding frozen fruit, which helps the spinach break down completely and prevents it from tangling around the blender blade.
