# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but won't make you crash by 10 AM.
  • The contrast between the creamy base and crunchy toppings is genuinely addictive.
  • You can make it in the time it takes to shower and get dressed.
02 -
  • A completely room-temperature banana will make your bowl taste thin and watery; always freeze it, even if you're in a rush.
  • The moment you add toppings, they start absorbing moisture, so don't make this bowl and let it sit—it's a now-or-never kind of dish.
03 -
  • Buy your kiwis a day or two before you plan to make this and let them sit on the counter—they'll be sweeter and more flavorful than rock-hard ones straight from the fridge.
  • Freeze banana slices on a sheet pan before storing them in a bag so they don't all freeze into one solid block.
