# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The tangy lemon cuts through the sweet blueberries like a bright morning surprise
- It comes together in under ten minutes but looks like something from a fancy café
- You can customize the toppings based on whatever's sitting in your pantry
02 -
- Frozen fruit is non-negotiable here unless you want to add ice and dilute all those vibrant flavors
- The longer you blend, the thinner it gets, so stop as soon as it's smooth
- Toppings need to go on immediately or they'll sink like stones
03 -
- Use a tamper if your blender has one, it saves you from having to stop and scrape constantly
- Zest your lemon before juicing it, much easier to handle when it's whole
