# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The protein keeps you full until lunch without feeling heavy
  • It takes literally five minutes from cupboard to glass
02 -
  • Frozen bananas turn this into something closer to soft-serve ice cream
  • Over-blending can make the texture weirdly thin and frothy
03 -
  • Peel and slice overripe bananas to freeze for later
  • Let the blender run an extra 10 seconds for silkiness
