# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like you're eating a chocolate peanut butter cup for breakfast, but it's actually packed with protein and keeps you full until lunch.
  • You can make it in under two minutes, which is faster than waiting in a drive-through line.
  • The toppings give you that satisfying crunch that a regular smoothie just can't deliver.
02 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the banana sit out for two or three minutes before blending, or add a splash of milk to help it along.
  • Don't skip freezing the banana, because a room-temperature one will give you a thin, sad smoothie instead of a thick, scoopable bowl.
03 -
  • Use a shallow, wide bowl instead of a deep one so you get toppings in every single spoonful.
  • If you want it even thicker, add a tablespoon of chia seeds to the blender and let it sit for a minute before pouring.
