# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can find matching socks in the morning
  • The protein keeps you satisfied straight through lunch without any mid-morning stomach growls
02 -
  • Frozen banana chunks completely change the texture game, making it thick enough to eat with a spoon if that's your thing
  • Blending ice first before adding other ingredients prevents those annoying chunks that get stuck in your straw
03 -
  • If your bananas are still green, let them sit on the counter for a few days until they develop those sweet brown spots
  • A frozen banana means you can skip the ice entirely, which keeps the flavor from getting watered down
