# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The stunning color alone makes you feel like you're treating yourself to something special, not just grabbing breakfast.
  • It's ready in 10 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday without stress.
  • One bowl is naturally filling thanks to the chia seeds and yogurt, so you won't be hunting for snacks an hour later.
  • It adapts beautifully to whatever fruit or toppings you have on hand, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • Don't blend frozen berries and beetroot together without yogurt or milk—I learned this the hard way when my blender nearly stalled trying to crush them into submission.
  • The beetroot's earthiness can sometimes feel overwhelming if you use too much, so start with just one small one and taste as you go, especially if you're new to the combo.
03 -
  • Buy pre-cooked beetroot from the refrigerated section to skip the roasting step entirely and shave another 10 minutes off active time.
  • Keep frozen berries in your freezer at all times—they blend more smoothly than fresh and actually make the bowl thicker and more luxurious.
