# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like a peanut butter cup but fills you up like a real breakfast.
  • You can make it in under two minutes without dirtying more than a blender and a bowl.
  • The toppings give you crunch and texture that feel exciting, not virtuous.
02 -
  • If your banana isn't frozen solid, the smoothie will be too runny to eat with a spoon, so plan ahead or add extra ice.
  • Blend on high for at least 30 seconds longer than you think you need to, or you'll get icy chunks instead of creamy smoothness.
03 -
  • Use a high-speed blender if you have one, because it makes the texture impossibly creamy and smooth in seconds.
  • Freeze your bowl for five minutes before pouring in the smoothie, and it'll stay cold and thick even longer while you eat.
