# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It genuinely tastes like dessert but delivers serious protein and keeps you full until lunch without the sugar crash.
  • You can make it in under three minutes, even on those mornings when you hit snooze four times and regret everything.
  • The toppings turn it into something you actually want to sit down and enjoy instead of gulping on the go.
02 -
  • If your banana isn't frozen solid, the whole thing turns into a drinkable smoothie instead of a thick, spoonable bowl, so plan ahead and freeze those slices overnight.
  • Cheap cocoa powder tastes dusty and flat, splurge a little on good unsweetened cocoa and the chocolate flavor will actually shine through instead of disappearing.
03 -
  • Use a wide, shallow bowl instead of a deep one so you get toppings in every bite instead of digging through naked smoothie at the bottom.
  • Let the smoothie sit for 30 seconds after blending so it thickens up even more, especially if your freezer isn't super cold.
