# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The frozen banana creates the creamiest texture without any dairy, making it feel indulgent while being completely plant based
  • You can prep all your toppings the night before and blend in literally three minutes before work
02 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, add the milk first and pulse a few times before adding the rest of the ingredients
  • Layer heavy toppings like granola near the edges if you want them to stay visible, otherwise they sink right into the green base
03 -
  • Squeeze a little lemon juice into the blender if your greens taste bitter, as it neutralizes that grassy flavor beautifully
  • Freeze your smoothie bowls in ice pop molds for the most refreshing summer snacks you have ever tasted
