# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in the time it takes to find your keys, yet you'll actually feel the difference in your energy.
  • No cooking required means zero guilt about using the stove before sunrise.
  • The chia seeds keep you satisfied way longer than you'd expect from a smoothie.
02 -
  • If your blender isn't high-speed, soak the chia seeds in a tablespoon of water for five minutes first—otherwise they'll stay crunchy and weird.
  • Don't skip the lemon; I learned this the hard way and made three versions that tasted like disappointment until I finally added acid.
03 -
  • Prep your greens and frozen banana the night before and store them in a container so blending takes literally three minutes in the morning.
  • If your smoothie separates or the chia seeds sink and clump, add a tiny splash of water and shake it in the glass right before drinking—texture saved.
