01 -

It tastes better than it looks, with a creamy sweetness that hides the nutrient density in every sip
You'll feel genuinely energized for hours, not the jittery kind, but the sustained kind that makes you wonder why you ever skipped breakfast
It comes together in under five minutes, making it the perfect excuse to slow down on rushed mornings

02 -

Remove those kale stems before blending—this is the one thing that genuinely makes or breaks the texture of the final smoothie
Freeze your bananas in advance in a sealed bag; this prevents oxidation and makes your smoothie thick and creamy without diluting it with ice water

03 -

Layer your ingredients in the order I described—it genuinely matters for blender efficiency and prevents jamming
Use frozen fruit instead of ice to keep it creamy and prevent dilution as it blends
