# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent enough to be dessert but healthy enough that you don't feel guilty at breakfast time.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 10 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday without sacrificing your morning peace.
  • Every spoonful has a different texture, from creamy to crunchy, keeping your mouth interested from first bite to last.
02 -
  • If your blended mixture looks too thin, don't panic and add more milk, because it will firm up as soon as the frozen berries fully freeze it again, and you can always drink it like a smoothie if it's thinner than you wanted.
  • The chia seeds will absorb liquid and soften over time, so if you're making this ahead, wait to add them until you're ready to eat, otherwise you'll have a bowl of pudding instead of something with texture.
03 -
  • Keep your frozen berries in a labeled freezer bag and rotate them seasonally, because a smoothie bowl made with peak-season berries you froze yourself tastes noticeably different from one made with sad old berries from the back of your freezer.
  • If your yogurt is very thick, you can whisk in the milk before blending and it'll blend faster and more evenly, a small detail that saves your blender from working too hard.
