# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in five minutes, which means you can actually enjoy your breakfast instead of spending half your morning in the kitchen.
  • The combination of creamy coconut and bright strawberry tastes indulgent but feels refreshingly light.
  • Naturally vegan and dairy-free, so it works for almost anyone who walks through your door.
02 -
  • Don't over-blend once it's smooth, or the heat from friction can warm up your smoothie faster than you'd like—a little restraint is key.
  • The lime juice is not optional; I learned this by making it without once, and the whole thing tasted flat and one-note.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer while you're preparing the smoothie—this tiny step makes the whole drinking experience feel more luxurious and keeps everything cold longer.
  • Fresh lime juice really does taste noticeably different from bottled, and that small difference is what separates a flat smoothie from one that tastes bright and alive.
