# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It feels like a treat, but fuels you like breakfast superpowers in a glass.
- Everyone I've made it for begs for the recipe – it’s that good and impossibly easy.
02 -
- Once, I loaded up too many berries and the blender got stuck – don't skip the liquid at the bottom.
- Switching to frozen fruit instead of fresh gives you the chill and thickness without watering down the flavor.
03 -
- Rinse your blender as soon as you pour the smoothie – nothing sticks harder than dried smoothie mix.
- Let the banana get freckly for max sweetness and creaminess – the difference really shows.
