# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It genuinely tastes like something you would pay twelve dollars for at a beachside cafe.
  • Five minutes from fridge to glass, and almost zero cleanup if you rinse the blender right away.
02 -
  • Fresh raspberries can make the smoothie slightly thinner and more tart than frozen, so adjust your expectations and maybe add that banana.
  • Canned coconut milk will overwhelm the other flavors and turn this into something closer to a dessert than a breakfast drink.
03 -
  • Freeze your raspberries on a tray first so they stay separate and you can pour exactly what you need without a hammer and chisel.
  • The banana is truly optional but it is the difference between a smoothie you drink and a smoothie you actually crave.
