# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It genuinely tastes like a dessert milkshake but packs real nutrition from bananas and peanut butter.
  • You probably have every single ingredient in your kitchen right now without a grocery run.
02 -
  • Frozen bananas are the single biggest factor in getting that thick shake like consistency without watering it down.
  • Natural peanut butter sometimes separates so stir it well before measuring or your smoothie will have an oily layer on top.
03 -
  • Peel and slice your bananas before freezing them because trying to peel a frozen banana is a humbling experience you do not want.
  • A tiny pinch of salt in the blender makes the chocolate flavor dramatically deeper and more complex with almost no effort.
