# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its like having breakfast and coffee in one cup but actually delicious not just functional
  • The texture becomes incredibly smooth almost like a milkshake but without all the guilt
02 -
  • Hot coffee will melt your ice too fast and make the texture thin so cool it completely first
  • A frozen banana instead of fresh banana completely transforms this into something that rivals any coffee shop frappe
03 -
  • Overripe bananas that are almost too brown to eat make the sweetest smoothies so never throw them away
  • The oats need at least 30 seconds of blending to disappear completely so do not rush this step
