# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but fuels you like a real breakfast, no guilt required.
  • The frozen banana makes it thick enough to eat with a spoon, which feels infinitely more satisfying than drinking it.
  • You can make it in under three minutes, even on mornings when you hit snooze twice.
  • The peanut butter and cocoa combo hits that sweet and salty craving perfectly.
02 -
  • If your banana isn't frozen solid, the smoothie will be too thin to eat with a spoon, so plan ahead and freeze it overnight.
  • Add the ice only if your blender can handle it, a weak blender will just make noise and leave you with chunks.
  • Don't over-blend or it'll warm up and lose that cold, thick texture you're aiming for.
03 -
  • Add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the base for a mocha version that tastes like a coffee shop splurge.
  • If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a splash of milk or water, but go slow so you don't thin it out too much.
  • Use a bowl with a wide, shallow shape so the toppings spread out and you get a little bit of everything in each bite.
