# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Spirulina turns everything an impossible shade of green that makes you feel smug before 8 AM, and honestly we all need a little of that energy.
  • Frozen bananas give it the thickness of soft serve ice cream, which means you are basically eating dessert for breakfast with zero guilt attached.
02 -
  • Frozen bananas are nonnegotiable if you want that thick scoopable texture, because fresh ones will give you a soupy mess that cannot support a single blueberry.
  • Spirulina has a distinct earthy flavor that gets stronger the more you add, so start with one teaspoon and adjust in future batches after you know what to expect.
03 -
  • Freeze your spinach in ice cube trays with a little water, then pop them straight into the blender for an even colder and thicker result.
  • Arrange your toppings in sections rather than piling everything in the center, because eating your way through distinct little zones keeps every bite interesting.
