# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under two minutes, which means you can make it even when youre running late or barely awake.
  • The combination of creamy yogurt, frozen banana, and peanut butter creates a texture thats somewhere between soft serve and mousse.
  • You get to eat it with a spoon and pile on toppings, which makes breakfast feel more like an event than a routine.
  • Its filling enough to keep you going for hours without feeling heavy or overly sweet.
02 -
  • If your banana isn't frozen solid, the smoothie will be too thin to eat with a spoon, so plan ahead and keep a bag of sliced bananas in the freezer at all times.
  • Don't skip the cocoa powder thinking the peanut butter alone will be enough, because it's the bitterness of the cocoa that makes this taste like something special instead of just sweet.
  • Add the toppings right before eating, because granola gets soggy fast and nobody wants to eat a bowl of mush when they were promised crunch.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas when they start to get brown spots, because thats when theyre sweetest and theyll blend into the creamiest texture.
  • Warm your peanut butter in the microwave for just ten seconds before drizzling so it streams off the spoon instead of clumping up in one spot.
  • Use a wide, shallow bowl instead of a deep one so you get toppings in every single bite instead of having to dig through plain smoothie to reach them.
