# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It takes less time than waiting in a drive-through line and tastes infinitely better.
  • The peanut butter keeps you satisfied for hours, no mid-morning crash.
  • You can tweak it endlessly without a single extra dish to wash.
02 -
  • Freeze your bananas ahead of time and you won't need as much ice, plus the texture gets even creamier.
  • If your blender struggles, add the milk first and blend in stages, it saves the motor and your patience.
03 -
  • Use frozen banana slices instead of ice for a thicker, creamier result that doesn't get watery.
  • Rinse your blender immediately after pouring, peanut butter hardens fast and becomes a nightmare to scrub later.
