# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a chocolate peanut butter cup but delivers 28 grams of protein to keep you full for hours.
  • You can make it in under two minutes, even on the most chaotic mornings.
  • The frozen banana creates an ice cream-like texture without any actual cream or sugar.
  • It's endlessly adaptable, so you can swap toppings based on what's in your pantry.
02 -
  • If your banana isn't frozen, the bowl will be too thin and soupy, so always slice and freeze your bananas ahead of time or keep a bag in the freezer.
  • Don't over-blend or the friction will warm everything up and melt the frozen banana, turning your thick bowl into a drinkable smoothie.
  • Use a high-powered blender if possible because frozen bananas are tough, and a weak blender will leave you with chunks instead of creaminess.
03 -
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the blender, it makes the chocolate and peanut butter flavors pop in a way that feels almost magical.
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the banana sit at room temperature for two minutes before blending, it makes a huge difference.
  • Use a shallow, wide bowl instead of a deep one so you get toppings in every spoonful rather than having to dig for them.
