# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes exactly five minutes from fridge to glass, which means no excuses on busy mornings.
  • The peanut butter adds enough protein to keep you full without tasting like a health shake.
02 -
  • Frozen berries will make a thicker smoothie than fresh ones, so adjust your ice accordingly or skip it entirely.
  • If your peanut butter is stiff and cold from the fridge, microwave it for ten seconds so it blends smoothly instead of clumping.
03 -
  • Freeze overripe bananas in chunks so you always have them ready. They eliminate the need for ice entirely.
  • Layer ingredients with liquid closest to the blade for the smoothest blend with the least effort on your machine.
