# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It blends in under a minute, perfect when you're already running late.
  • The peanut butter keeps you full without feeling heavy or sluggish.
  • You can tweak it endlessly, adding cocoa, cinnamon, or whatever you're craving that day.
02 -
  • Frozen bananas make it thicker and colder, but they also dull the sweetness, so you might need extra honey.
  • If your blender struggles, add a little more milk and blend in pulses instead of one long go.
03 -
  • Keep peeled bananas in the freezer so you're always ready to blend without waiting for them to ripen.
  • Add the liquid first if your blender has a weak motor, it helps everything move smoothly from the start.
