# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but actually fuels your morning with protein and antioxidants, which feels like getting away with something delicious.
  • The whole thing comes together in under ten minutes, no cooking required, so even when you're behind schedule it feels manageable.
02 -
  • Matcha can taste bitter and grassy if the water is too hot when you whisk it, so use warm water just below steaming, around 160 to 170 degrees if you're being precise about it.
  • Frozen fruit is not a compromise here, it's actually the whole point, since it creates that thick soft-serve texture that makes the bowl feel special.
03 -
  • Don't skip whisking the matcha separately, it's the difference between a smooth luxurious bowl and one with grainy bits that catch in your teeth.
  • Keep your banana frozen in slices rather than whole so it blends more evenly and you can grab exactly what you need without thawing the whole thing.
