# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes exactly five minutes from fridge to glass which means zero excuses for skipping breakfast.
- Frozen berries make it thick and creamy almost like a milkshake without the guilt.
02 -
- Frozen berries make a dramatically thicker smoothie so freeze extras before they go bad.
- Adding a handful of spinach turns it green but you honestly cannot taste it at all.
03 -
- Freeze overripe strawberries in a single layer on a baking sheet first so they do not clump together in the bag.
- A pinch of salt sounds weird but it makes the berry flavor pop in ways you will not expect.
