# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like a chocolate peanut butter cup but delivers real protein and energy to start your day strong.
  • You can make it thick enough to eat with a spoon, which somehow makes it feel more luxurious than drinking it from a glass.
  • The toppings turn a simple smoothie into something you actually want to sit down and savor instead of rushing out the door.
02 -
  • If your banana isn't frozen solid, the smoothie will be too runny to eat with a spoon, so always freeze banana slices at least four hours ahead or keep a stash in the freezer.
  • Don't blend for too long or the friction will warm everything up and turn your thick bowl into a thin shake, pulse just until smooth and stop.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas when they're perfectly ripe and spotty, that's when they're sweetest and will give you the best flavor without needing extra sweeteners.
  • Pre-portion your smoothie ingredients into freezer bags so you can dump and blend on busy mornings without measuring anything.
