# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent like dessert but your body knows you're doing something good for it.
  • The whole thing comes together in ten minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning without stress.
  • You get to customize every topping, so it never gets boring and works with whatever you have in your kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't use a weak blender—acai is legitimately dense and frozen, so you need something powerful or you'll end up with chunks instead of smoothness.
  • The thicker your base, the better your toppings stay on top instead of sinking in, so resist the urge to add too much milk.
03 -
  • Slice and freeze your own bananas the night before instead of buying pre-frozen ones—you get to control ripeness and spend less money.
  • Keep a stash of acai packets in your freezer so you can make this whenever the mood strikes without a special trip to the store.
