# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than waiting for coffee to brew and keeps you full until lunch.
  • The frozen berries make it thick and frosty without needing ice that waters everything down.
  • You can taste the brightness of real fruit instead of artificial sweetness.
02 -
  • Don't add too much liquid at the start or you'll end up with berry-flavored juice instead of a thick smoothie.
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the berries sit on the counter for two minutes to soften slightly before blending.
03 -
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of regular for a thicker texture and more protein without needing to add protein powder.
  • Blend on high for at least 45 seconds even after it looks smooth to avoid icy chunks hiding at the bottom.
