# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but keeps you full until lunch without any crash.
  • You can make it in under five minutes with ingredients you probably already have.
  • The creaminess feels like dessert, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • If you skip the ice, it'll be drinkable but thin, use frozen banana slices instead for the same thick texture.
  • Natural peanut butter can make it grainy if you don't stir it well first, so give the jar a good mix before scooping.
03 -
  • Add the peanut butter last if your blender struggles, it'll blend more evenly without clumping.
  • If you want it colder without watering it down, use frozen banana instead of fresh and skip the ice entirely.
