# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a chocolate milkshake but packs 28 grams of protein to keep you full for hours.
  • You can make it in under two minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.
  • The toppings are endlessly customizable, so it never gets boring no matter how many times you make it.
02 -
  • Always freeze your banana the night before or you'll end up with a thin, runny smoothie instead of a thick, spoonable bowl.
  • Blend on high for at least 30 seconds longer than you think you need to, because any chunks will ruin the creamy texture.
  • Add toppings right before eating, or the granola will get soggy and lose its crunch.
03 -
  • Use a high-speed blender if you have one, because it creates the silkiest, creamiest texture without any icy chunks.
  • If your smoothie is too thick to pour, don't add liquid, just use a spatula to scoop it into the bowl and it will be perfectly spoonable.
  • Chill your bowl in the freezer for five minutes before pouring in the smoothie, it keeps everything colder longer and feels extra refreshing.
