# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast, which means you'll actually want to eat it instead of reaching for something sugary.
  • Cauliflower stays completely hidden, so even skeptics won't notice the vegetable boost.
  • Ten minutes from thought to spoon, making it perfect for mornings when you're running late.
  • Packed with protein and fiber, so you'll actually stay full instead of hungry an hour later.
02 -
  • The cauliflower must be steamed and completely cooled before freezing, or it'll add a strange watery texture that ruins everything.
  • Frozen fruit matters more than fresh here—it blends into actual creaminess instead of thin liquid.
03 -
  • High-speed blenders are worth it for this—regular ones leave chunks that turn into weird texture surprises you don't want.
  • Freeze your banana in pieces the night before instead of slicing fresh, because frozen banana blends smoother and colder, and it's honestly the difference between a good bowl and a great one.
