# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It satisfies chocolate cravings without the sugar crash of store-bought versions
  • The combination of healthy fats and protein actually keeps you satisfied for hours
02 -
  • Using frozen banana instead of fresh eliminates the need for ice and makes it incredibly thick
  • Cocoa powder can clump, so blend the wet ingredients first before adding the powder
03 -
  • If you forgot to freeze your banana, add an extra half cup of ice and blend longer
  • For smoothies with protein powder, add a splash more milk or the texture becomes pudding-thick
