# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It transforms frozen fruit into something that feels indulgent without any guilt or complicated steps.
  • The toppings turn every spoonful into a little texture adventure, crunchy and creamy all at once.
  • You can make it with whatever berries or seeds you already have, no special trip to the store needed.
02 -
  • If the blender struggles, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, too much liquid turns this into a drinkable smoothie instead of a thick bowl.
  • Frozen bananas make the base even thicker and colder, but they also mute the berry flavor a bit, so use a fresh one if you want the berries to shine.
03 -
  • Freeze your serving bowls for ten minutes before pouring the smoothie in, it keeps everything cold longer and the texture stays perfect.
  • Blend on low first to break up the frozen fruit, then increase to high for a smoother finish without overworking your blender.
