# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It is basically breakfast and coffee in one glass, which means you are multitasking before you even leave the house
  • The banana cuts through any bitterness from the coffee, so you do not need to add much sweetener
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that hot coffee melts the ice too fast and makes a watery, sad smoothie
  • Frozen bananas change everything about the texture, so I always keep a stash in my freezer now
03 -
  • Blend the liquid ingredients first before adding the ice to prevent your blender from getting stuck
  • If your smoothie separates after sitting, just give it a quick stir and it is good to go
