# Pro Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a milkshake but fills you up with real protein and fruit instead of empty sugar.
  • You can make it in under two minutes with a blender and whatever toppings are hiding in your pantry.
  • The frozen banana makes it thick and creamy without any ice cream, so you feel good about eating it before noon.
  • Its endlessly customizable, you can swap nut butters, add seeds, or throw in spinach without anyone noticing.
02 -
  • If your banana isnt frozen, the smoothie will be thin and soupy instead of thick and scoopable, so slice and freeze your bananas ahead of time.
  • Blend on high for at least 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, because any chunks of frozen banana will ruin the creamy texture.
  • Add toppings right before eating, granola gets soggy fast and loses its crunch if it sits in the cold smoothie too long.
03 -
  • Use a high speed blender if you have one, it makes the smoothie incredibly creamy and silky instead of icy or grainy.
  • If the smoothie is too thick to pour, pulse in a tiny splash of almond milk or water, but add it slowly so you dont accidentally make it too thin.
  • Let the bowl sit for about 30 seconds after topping it, the cold smoothie will slightly soften the chocolate and make it easier to scoop through.
