# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Tastes like a milkshake but actually nourishes your body with real food
  • Comes together in literally five minutes with zero cooking skills required
02 -
  • Overripe bananas with brown spots are naturally sweeter and blend better than firm yellow ones
  • The longer you blend, the thinner it gets so stop once it's smooth
03 -
  • Use at least partly frozen fruit so you don't need as much ice which can water down the flavor
  • Let the blender run an extra 10 seconds after you think it's done for the silkiest texture
