# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but keeps you full until lunch because of all that protein.
  • Two minutes from fridge to bowl means you can make this on mornings when you're barely awake.
  • The texture is thick and spoonable, way more satisfying than drinking a smoothie straight.
02 -
  • Freeze your banana ahead of time because fresh banana will make the whole thing thin and sad, and you'll wish you'd planned better.
  • Cocoa powder that's been sitting in your cabinet for three years tastes dusty and weird, so spring for a fresh container if it's been a while.
03 -
  • Don't blend the toppings into the smoothie base because half the joy is that unexpected texture contrast when you hit the granola and chocolate.
  • Make the smoothie base the night before and pour it into the bowl in the morning, adding toppings fresh so the granola doesn't get soggy and sad.
