# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The earthy, roasted notes of hojicha balance perfectly with sweet banana creating a sophisticated breakfast that feels indulgent yet wholesome
  • It comes together in under ten minutes making it ideal for busy mornings when you want something special without the fuss
02 -
  • Frozen bananas are non negotiable here, fresh ones will just make a thin smoothie instead of that gorgeous scoopable texture
  • Hojicha powder can clump, so blend it with the liquid first or give your blender a few extra pulses to break up any stubborn bits
03 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen bananas, let them sit on the counter for five minutes before blending
  • Use a tamper tool if your blender has one, or stop and scrape down the sides a few times for the smoothest result
