# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under five minutes, which means you can sleep an extra ten and still leave fed.
  • The peanut butter keeps you full until lunch without that mid-morning crash.
  • You can blend it the night before and grab it cold from the fridge when youre running late.
02 -
  • If you skip the ice, the smoothie will be warm and thin, so dont leave it out unless you use frozen bananas instead.
  • Natural peanut butter can make the texture grainy if it has big chunks of peanuts, so stick with creamy for the silkiest result.
03 -
  • Always taste before adding sweetener because ripe bananas can make it sweet enough, and youll save the extra sugar for something else.
  • If your blender struggles, add the liquid first and pulse a few times before blending on high to avoid burning out the motor.
