# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Tastes like dessert but fuels you with 28 grams of protein for sustained morning energy
  • Ready in literally two minutes, which matters more than you think on hectic mornings
  • The texture is ridiculously creamy, like eating chocolate mousse for breakfast without any guilt
02 -
  • Let the blender run longer than you think necessary, because any frozen banana chunks will ruin the creamy texture
  • Eat this immediately after blending, because it melts faster than regular smoothies due to the yogurt
  • Freeze your banana slices in advance on a parchment lined sheet to prevent them from clumping together
03 -
  • Use frozen banana instead of fresh for that thick, almost scoopable ice cream texture
  • Let the blender run completely smooth, then let it sit for 30 seconds before serving for perfect thickness
