# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a chocolate peanut butter cup but keeps you full for hours thanks to the Greek yogurt and healthy fats.
  • You can blend it in two minutes flat, making it perfect for rushed mornings or post-workout fuel.
  • The toppings turn it into something special, so it feels indulgent even though it is nourishing your body.
02 -
  • Freeze your banana slices the night before or keep a stash in the freezer, because a room-temperature banana will make the smoothie too thin and runny.
  • Blend on high speed and be patient, it takes a minute for frozen fruit to break down completely, and stopping too early leaves icy chunks.
  • Don't skip the toppings, they add texture and make the experience so much more satisfying than just drinking a smoothie.
03 -
  • Use a high-speed blender if you have one, because it makes the texture unbelievably creamy and cuts the blending time in half.
  • Warm your peanut butter in the microwave for ten seconds before drizzling, it makes it so much easier to work with and looks beautiful.
  • Taste the base before pouring it out, and adjust the cocoa or peanut butter to your preference since every brand tastes a little different.
