# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a milkshake but keeps you full until lunch without the sugar crash.
  • You can make it in under five minutes with ingredients you probably already have.
  • It's endlessly adaptable, so you can tweak it to whatever your mood or pantry offers.
02 -
  • Frozen bananas make this insanely thick, but they also dull the sweetness, so you might need extra honey.
  • If your blender struggles, add a splash more milk to get things moving smoothly.
03 -
  • Use a high-speed blender if you have one. Cheaper blenders can leave icy chunks that ruin the creamy vibe.
  • If you want it sweeter without added sugar, use a very ripe banana or a few pitted dates.
