# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a treat but actually fuels your body for hours, no crash included.
  • The whole thing takes five minutes, which means you can make it on mornings when you're running late and still feel like you're taking care of yourself.
  • It's secretly foolproof—there's no way to mess this up once you get the blender going.
02 -
  • Don't skip the yogurt thinking milk alone will do the same job—it really won't give you that creamy texture that makes this feel like a proper treat.
  • If you're using frozen bananas instead of fresh, you might need to add a splash more milk because they blend differently and can get too thick.
03 -
  • Always add the liquid first when you're blending, then the solids on top—it helps the blender work more efficiently and you actually get fewer stuck spots.
  • The peanut butter flavor comes through better when the smoothie is cold, so don't skip the ice even if you think it might water things down.
