# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- It tastes like dessert but fuels your entire morning without the sugar crash.
- You can make it in ten minutes on even your sleepiest days.
- The texture is thick and scoopable, which somehow makes eating breakfast feel intentional.
02 -
- Don't skip the chia seeds in the base itself; they thicken everything and make it scoopable instead of drinkable.
- Use frozen berries, not fresh, because they blend into creaminess without watering everything down.
03 -
- Freeze your blender bowl for five minutes before blending if you want the smoothie to stay colder longer after you've poured it.
- The chia seeds absorb liquid over time, so if you're taking this to work, pack the toppings separately and assemble right before eating.
