# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get all the convenience of a smoothie but with the satisfying texture of actual food, plus its secretly just breakfast disguised as dessert.
- The granola crumble creates this incredible contrast against the frozen fruit base that I promise you'll become obsessed with.
02 -
- Do not, I repeat, do not add too much liquid at the start—you can always add more but you cannot take it back.
- A tamper tool or frequent scraping down the sides will save your life when blending frozen fruit.
03 -
- Use at least one frozen banana in your base every single time for the creamiest result.
- Warm your honey or maple syrup for ten seconds if it's too thick to mix in smoothly.
