# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a peanut butter cup but leaves you energized instead of sluggish.
  • You can make it in two minutes flat, even on mornings when brushing your hair feels ambitious.
  • The texture is thick enough to eat with a spoon, which somehow makes it more satisfying than drinking it.
  • It works as breakfast, a post-workout fix, or that 3 p.m. moment when you need something sweet and sustaining.
02 -
  • If your banana is not frozen, the whole thing will be too thin and you will end up drinking it sadly from the bowl.
  • Blend longer than you think you need to, those little cocoa specks will disappear and the texture becomes impossibly smooth.
  • Do not skip warming the peanut butter for the drizzle, cold peanut butter just sits there in a stubborn blob.
03 -
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the base before blending, it makes the chocolate and peanut butter flavors bloom.
  • Use a chilled bowl if you have time, it keeps everything cold longer while you eat.
  • If you want it sweeter, mash a few dates into the base instead of adding syrup, the texture stays thick and the sweetness feels more complex.
