# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
02 - 1 cup vanilla or chocolate protein shake (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
04 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Add frozen banana, protein shake, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup (if using) to a high-speed blender.

03 - Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls.
04 - Sprinkle granola, chia seeds, fresh berries, and nut butter over the bowls as desired.
05 - For a firmer texture, freeze the bowls for 30 to 60 minutes before serving, or serve immediately as soft-serve.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but your body gets what it actually needs.
  • Takes less time than getting dressed after the gym.
  • You control the sweetness and texture completely.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on the frozen banana—it's the whole secret.
  • If your blender struggles, let the mixture sit for two minutes so the frozen banana softens slightly.
03 -
  • If the blender gets stuck, add milk a tablespoon at a time instead of dumping more shake in all at once.
  • Freeze bananas in portions so you always have them ready.
