01 -

It tastes like dessert but keeps you satisfied through lunch, so you're not reaching for snacks by 3 PM.
Five minutes from blender to glass means you actually make it on mornings when you're running late.
The frozen banana gives you that milkshake texture without any ice cream or added sugar crash.

02 -

Frozen bananas are non-negotiable—fresh ones make a thin, warm drink that tastes like sadness in a glass.
If your peanut butter seems stuck at the bottom, you probably added it after the banana; always put soft ingredients in first so they can coat everything evenly.
The smoothie thickens as it sits, so if you're making ahead, add an extra splash of milk when you blend.

03 -

Always check if your peanut butter is the natural kind with oil on top—that oil actually helps it blend better than the stabilized versions.
A tiny squeeze of instant espresso powder deepens the chocolate flavor so much that people always ask what your secret ingredient is.
