# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in five minutes, which means breakfast can feel like a vacation even on busy mornings.
  • The flavor is naturally sweet without tasting processed, and your body actually feels nourished after drinking it.
  • You can customize it endlessly depending on what's in your fridge, making it impossible to get bored.
02 -
  • Blending frozen banana instead of fresh creates a thicker, almost soft-serve consistency, but it can overpower the delicate guava flavor if you're not careful.
  • The longer you blend, the warmer the smoothie becomes, so commit to those 30 to 45 seconds and then stop—don't overthink it.
03 -
  • If you're making this for guests, prep the guavas and banana the night before and freeze them separately; thawing them slightly before blending creates an extra-thick smoothie that feels indulgent.
  • A thin slice of banana or guava balanced on the rim of the glass makes even a simple morning drink feel intentional and special.
