# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in under five minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen
  • Customizable thickness and sweetness means everyone can make it exactly how they like it
  • Portable enough to sip while dashing out the door or slow enough to enjoy with a book
02 -
  • Frozen bananas eliminate the need for ice completely while creating this incredibly thick texture that feels almost like soft serve
  • The smoothie thickens up quickly if you let it sit, so it's best enjoyed immediately while still perfectly drinkable

  • Let frozen bananas thaw for two minutes before blending to save your blender motor
  • Add liquids before solids when loading your blender to prevent everything from getting stuck under the blades
