# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The roasted, nutty flavor of hojicha balances perfectly with sweet banana without any refined sugar overload
  • You get all the creamy satisfaction of a smoothie with the satisfying crunch of toppings in every spoonful
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes but feels like something you'd order at a trendy café
02 -
  • If your bananas aren't frozen enough the bowl will be more like a drink than ice cream texture
  • The smoothie base starts melting immediately so work quickly once you pour it
  • Hojicha can clump so sprinkle it into the blender while it's running to incorporate evenly
03 -
  • Peel and break bananas into chunks before freezing for easier blending
  • Toast coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2 minutes for way more flavor
