# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but feels like a powerhouse breakfast, sneaking greens past anyone who thinks they don't like vegetables.
  • You'll actually look forward to eating it because it's stunning in a bowl and somehow feels like a small act of self-care.
  • Ten minutes from start to finish means even on rushed mornings, you're not reaching for something processed.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is your secret weapon here; fresh fruit makes a smoothie, but frozen makes a bowl with actual substance and texture.
  • Taste as you blend and adjust sweetness gradually—you can always add more honey but you can't take it out, and the kiwi's natural tartness means you might not need any added sweetness at all.
03 -
  • Room-temperature milk blends faster than cold milk, so let yours sit for five minutes before adding it to the blender—this simple step makes a noticeable difference in how quickly everything combines.
  • If your blender struggles with leafy greens, add a little milk first and let the spinach break down briefly before adding the rest of your ingredients.
