# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The brown butter adds a rich, nutty warmth you dont usually get in a smoothie.
- Its thick enough to feel like a meal but still light and refreshing.
- You can make it with whatever milk or yogurt you have on hand.
02 -
- If you dont cool the brown butter a little, it can make the smoothie weirdly warm and the yogurt might curdle.
- Blending for the full two minutes makes a huge difference in how creamy it gets, especially with the oats.
03 -
- Use a light-colored skillet so you can see when the butter turns golden, dark pans make it hard to tell.
- If your blender struggles with oats, soak them in the milk for five minutes first to soften them up.
