# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes flat, which means you can make it before you've even fully woken up.
  • The honey glaze on top makes it feel like a little treat, even though it's actually good for you.
  • Frozen berries mean you're never without something to throw in a blender, winter or summer.
02 -
  • Frozen berries blend smoother and colder than fresh ones, so resist the urge to skip the freezer step.
  • If your smoothie comes out too thick, add milk a splash at a time rather than overloading it and ending up with something too thin.
  • The honey on top looks beautiful but also adds a little flavor surprise at the end, like a secret.
03 -
  • Frozen berries from the grocery store bulk section are always cheaper than the fancy boxes, and honestly they taste the same.
  • If you're making this regularly, keep your berries in the blender pitcher in the freezer so you can literally grab and blend with zero prep.
