# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The thick creamy texture eats more like dessert than a healthy breakfast.
  • You probably have most ingredients sitting in your freezer and pantry right now.
02 -
  • Too much liquid turns this into a drinkable smoothie so add almond milk tablespoon by tablespoon.
  • Frozen fruit is nonnegotiable if you want that signature thick texture.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas peeled and sliced so they blend up silky smooth.
  • A high powered blender makes quick work of this but a regular one just needs more scraping.
