# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The thick, spoonable texture makes you feel like youre enjoying ice cream for breakfast, but its packed with antioxidants and protein instead.
  • Its completely customizable depending on what berries you have in your freezer, making it perfect for those mornings when grocery shopping feels impossible.
02 -
  • Using partially thawed berries rather than rock-hard frozen ones will be gentler on your blender motor while still giving you that thick texture.
  • Arranging toppings around the edge of the bowl rather than in the center keeps them from sinking into the smoothie base.
03 -
  • If youre using a less powerful blender, start with the liquid ingredients at the bottom and add frozen items gradually to avoid straining the motor.
  • A frozen quarter of an avocado blended in will create an unbelievably creamy texture without changing the flavor profile of the berries.
