# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The frozen banana trick creates a texture so thick and creamy you will swear there is ice cream hiding in there.
  • It takes exactly the amount of time it takes your coffee to brew, which means no excuses on busy mornings.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is not optional here since fresh berries and room temperature bananas will give you a watery soup instead of a bowl you can stand a spoon up in.
  • Stop the blender and scrape down the sides at least once or you will end up with chunks of plain frozen fruit hiding in an otherwise perfect blend.
03 -
  • Toast your almonds and coconut flakes in a dry skillet for two minutes and your bowl will go from good to the thing you crave every morning.
  • Freeze your bananas in halves instead of whole so they fit in the blender easier and you never have to wrestle with a frozen knob of fruit at six in the morning.
