# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It tastes like dessert but fuels your body like a proper meal should.
- The frozen banana trick makes it thick enough to eat with a spoon if you want.
02 -
- Add the milk before the ice to prevent your blender blades from jamming and straining the motor.
- Freezing the banana ahead of time is what separates a watery shake from a luxuriously thick one.
03 -
- Blend for a full thirty seconds longer than you think necessary to eliminate any gritty cookie texture.
- Chill your glass in the freezer for five minutes before pouring to keep the shake colder for longer.
