# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than brewing coffee and keeps you full until lunch.
  • You can drink it on the way out the door without feeling guilty about skipping breakfast.
  • The peanut butter makes it taste like a milkshake but with actual nutrition.
02 -
  • If your bananas aren't ripe enough the whole thing will taste bland and you'll end up dumping in way too much honey.
  • Don't skip the ice or it'll come out thin and warm, which is just sad.
03 -
  • Keep a bag of peeled, sliced bananas in the freezer so you're always ready to blend.
  • If your blender struggles with ice, add the liquid first and let it run for a second before dropping in the frozen stuff.
