# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a peanut butter cup but leaves you energized instead of sluggish.
  • Everything blends in under two minutes, so even chaotic mornings can start with something homemade.
  • The toppings turn it into something you actually want to sit down and enjoy, not gulp on the way out the door.
02 -
  • Freeze your banana the night before or keep a stash in the freezer, because a room-temperature banana will give you soup instead of a bowl.
  • Don't blend it too long or the ice will start melting and thin everything out, just go until it's smooth and stop.
03 -
  • Let the frozen banana sit on the counter for about five minutes before blending if your blender isn't super powerful, it'll save your motor and blend faster.
  • Warm the peanut butter for a few seconds in the microwave before drizzling so it pours smoothly instead of clumping up on top.
