# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like dessert but fuels you with protein and energy for hours.
  • You can make it with whatever toppings are hiding in your pantry.
  • Two minutes from freezer to spoon, no cooking, no cleanup drama.
02 -
  • If your bananas aren't frozen, the texture will be more like a milkshake than a thick bowl, so plan ahead and freeze those slices overnight.
  • Don't skip the toppings, they're not just decoration, the crunch and texture contrast make this feel like a real meal instead of a snack.
03 -
  • Use a high-powered blender if you have one, it makes the texture silky instead of grainy and cuts your blending time in half.
  • If the mixture is too thick to blend, add liquid one tablespoon at a time, you want it thick enough to hold toppings, not pour like a drink.
