# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes roughly the same amount of time as brushing your teeth, which means no excuse is valid enough to skip breakfast.
  • The coconut milk makes it thick and luxurious without a single drop of dairy, and your stomach will thank you for that.
02 -
  • Coconut milk can separate and leave solid chunks at the top of the can, so always stir or shake it well before measuring or you will end up with an uneven, clumpy smoothie.
  • If you use fresh fruit instead of frozen, the smoothie will be significantly thinner and more juice like unless you add ice or a frozen banana to compensate.
03 -
  • Freeze your blueberries and pineapple on a parchment lined baking sheet first so they stay separate and do not clump together in the bag, making measuring much easier.
  • Using full fat canned coconut milk straight from the fridge creates the thickest, most satisfying smoothie with almost no extra effort required.
