# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but fuels you with 28 grams of protein and real nutrition.
  • You can make it in under two minutes with ingredients you probably already have.
  • The frozen banana makes it thick enough to eat with a spoon, turning a simple smoothie into a satisfying meal.
02 -
  • If your smoothie is too thin to eat with a spoon, you either need more frozen banana or you skipped the ice, so adjust next time.
  • Do not let the smoothie sit too long before adding toppings, or the granola will get soggy and lose its crunch.
03 -
  • Use a high-speed blender if you have one, because it will make the texture silky instead of grainy.
  • Freeze your banana when it is just ripe with a few brown spots, because that is when it is sweetest and creamiest.
