# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The frozen banana creates this incredible creamy texture without any dairy, making it feel indulgent while being completely virtuous
  • Five minutes from cupboard to glass means this actually happens on busy weekday mornings instead of just good intentions
02 -
  • Room temperature water blends better than cold, so I leave it out while I prep the other ingredients
  • The chia seeds will continue thickening the drink if it sits, so blend and drink immediately for the best texture
03 -
  • Start your blender on low speed and gradually increase to high to prevent air pockets and ensure everything gets pulled down into the blades
  • If your blender struggles, add just a tablespoon more water at a time rather than dumping in extra liquid all at once
