# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a treat but leaves you feeling energized instead of sluggish.
  • The whole thing comes together in less time than it takes to toast bread, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning.
  • There's something deeply satisfying about arranging the toppings exactly how you like them, turning breakfast into something personal.
02 -
  • Don't skip freezing the banana—a room temperature banana turns your bowl into pudding instead of giving you that thick, creamy texture that makes this worth eating.
  • The order you arrange toppings matters more than you'd think; put heavier items like granola on top of softer elements so they don't immediately sink and get soggy.
03 -
  • Freeze your bowls for five minutes before serving if you like your smoothie glacially cold and thick—it's a small step that completely changes the experience.
  • Buy spinach in bulk, portion it into freezer bags, and you'll always have it on hand, making this breakfast available even when you haven't been to the store in a week.
