# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert in a glass but secretly fuels your body with real protein and fruit.
  • Frozen berries make it thick and creamy without needing to plan ahead or wait for anything to ripen.
02 -
  • Never skip measuring the peanut butter because two heaping scoops can turn a refreshing drink into something overly heavy and cloying.
  • Frozen berries will save you from needing ice entirely, which means more fruit flavor and zero watered down sips.
03 -
  • Freeze overripe bananas peeled and chopped so you always have the sweetest, creamiest base ready to go without any prep.
  • A tiny pinch of salt in the blender makes the peanut butter flavor pop in a way that will make people ask what your secret is.
