# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready before your coffee maker finishes brewing, so there's no excuse to skip breakfast.
  • The guava-banana combo creates this natural creaminess that tastes indulgent without any fussing.
02 -
  • Don't blend for too long or the smoothie gets warm and loses that refreshing quality that makes it special.
  • Guava seeds are hard and bitter—learning to scoop them out properly changes everything about the final taste.
03 -
  • Start with less ice than you think you need; you can always add more, but you can't take it out once it's blended.
  • Room-temperature milk blended with frozen fruit actually works better than cold milk—the temperature difference helps everything emulsify smoothly.
