# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The banana and apple create such a naturally sweet base that you forget youre drinking something healthy
  • It takes literally five minutes from cupboard to glass, perfect for chaotic mornings when breakfast feels impossible
02 -
  • Frozen banana is absolutely worth the extra prep time, it completely transforms the texture from watery to milkshake creamy
  • Drink this immediately because the chia seeds will continue thickening it up if it sits too long
03 -
  • Start your blender on low speed to break down chunks before going high, this prevents those frustrating spinach leaf bits stuck to the sides
  • If your blender struggles, add the water a bit at a time to help everything move smoothly
