# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The spirulina turns everything an otherworldly teal color that makes you feel like you are eating something from a sci-fi kitchen.
  • Frozen bananas give it the texture of soft serve ice cream without any dairy involved.
02 -
  • Frozen bananas are the difference between a thick scoopable bowl and a sad watery puddle so please freeze them ahead of time.
  • Spirulina can vary wildly in quality between brands so taste yours plain first and adjust the amount accordingly.
03 -
  • Peel your bananas before freezing them unless you enjoy chiseling frozen peel off at seven in the morning.
  • A frozen avocado half blended in makes the bowl unbelievably velvety and you will never detect the flavor.
