# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Spirulina turns everything an outrageous green that makes you feel like you are doing something right before the day even starts.
- It takes barely ten minutes and tastes like dessert disguised as wellness.
02 -
- Frozen bananas are the difference between a bowl you eat with a spoon and a smoothie you drink through a straw.
- Spirulina clumps if you dump it in all at once, so blend the wet ingredients first then add it while the blender runs.
03 -
- Freeze your bananas peeled and chopped so your blender does not struggle and curse you at dawn.
- A pinch of sea salt on top of the whole bowl makes every single flavor pop in a way you will not expect.
