# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its literally five minutes from cupboard to glass, which matters more than you think on chaotic mornings
  • The protein keeps you full until actual lunchtime, not just until 11 AM when your stomach starts growling
02 -
  • Frozen fruit makes a huge difference in texture, turning this into something closer to soft serve than a thin drink
  • Your blender matters more than you think, cheap ones leave chunky bits and nobody wants surprise berry chunks
03 -
  • Start your blender on low speed before going high, otherwise you might end up with ingredients stuck to the sides
  • If it is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time rather than dumping it all in at once
