# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent enough to feel like a treat, but you know exactly what went into it.
  • Two minutes of actual work means you can have something creamy and nourishing even when you're running behind.
  • The texture contrast between the smooth base and crunchy toppings makes it feel more substantial than a typical smoothie.
02 -
  • Frozen banana is non-negotiable; fresh banana will make the bowl watery and thin, a lesson I learned the hard way on my first attempt.
  • Stir everything right before you eat it, breaking up the granola and letting those flavors mingle together.
03 -
  • Don't blend for more than a minute or the friction will warm up the mixture and you'll lose that creamy, cold texture that makes this bowl feel special.
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the banana thaw for 30 seconds before blending—sometimes brute force isn't the answer.
