# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The peanut butter makes it taste like dessert but the protein keeps you full until lunch without even thinking about a snack.
  • Frozen berries mean you never have to wait for the right season to make this and they give the smoothie a milkshake thick texture that feels indulgent.
02 -
  • If you add ice before blending start with just a few cubes because too much will water down the peanut butter flavor quickly.
  • Letting frozen berries thaw for five minutes on the counter protects your blender blades and gives a smoother result.
03 -
  • Freeze your banana slices in a single layer on a parchment lined tray before bagging them so they blend evenly without clumping.
  • A pinch of salt in the blender is the secret that makes the peanut butter taste twice as rich and complex.
