# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a milkshake but leaves you full and focused for hours.
  • You can make it in under five minutes even if youre half awake.
  • The toppings turn it into something that looks fancy enough to photograph.
  • Its one of those recipes that adapts to whatever you have on hand without falling apart.
02 -
  • If your banana isnt frozen, the smoothie will be thin and runny, more like a drink than something you can eat with a spoon.
  • Dont skip the ice if you want that thick, creamy texture that holds its shape under the toppings.
  • Warm the peanut butter for ten seconds in the microwave before drizzling or it will just plop off the spoon in chunks.
03 -
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the smoothie base before blending, it makes the chocolate and peanut butter flavors pop.
  • Use a frozen banana that's spotty and overripe for the sweetest, creamiest texture without added sugar.
  • Let the bowl sit for one minute after adding toppings so the granola softens just slightly but still has crunch.
